Two hibiscus flowers

Golden in the sun

Six buds are forming - a delight

Twelve eyes are opening

Edged with gold, photosynthesizing in the light

Two on a matty bougher, wilting

Three soft bronzed spines encase a flower

trembling in the breeze

Five fat seeds apon a stalk of sepia

Five broad leaves protect and please

Twelve subterranean stalks bathe in water

making roots among the rainbow streams

holding promise for the daughter

Four is Unity, it doesn't shout but screams

Within the four directions ..

North lies the crown for two hibiscus flowers
