Tiny Blue Flowers

Tiny blue flowers

ablaze in a tree - 

prayer flags for birds

who sing daily,

their rituals familiar

to the trees

that hold them dear

- in the wind, in the rain - 

in return for their songs.

Tiny blue flowers

blossom every year

and hang brightly

love letters for butterflies,

who shiver in surprise

to find such treasure

under a hot sky,

so they dance

and they dance.
