“Nazuna Flower” was written for a friend, Maya,
on learning that she was to emigrate to marry.
The title is her internet screenname.
Nazuna bloom,
grown to perfection here
and coveted by one on foreign soil;
transported hence
and swift transplanted there.
In strange surroundings, where her owner's toil
will keep her fresh and loved
and flourishing -
with sometime soft remembering
of what has gone before -
blossom and flower, sweet Maya!
And may your new horizons
be broad, yet compassed round
with loving arms.
