Plum Blossoms

Feb 01, 2024

Other flowers bloom in spring and summer,
only the plum blossom has the hardihood to
withstand the bone-piercing cold of winter.

The plum blossom sprigs in the corner of
the wall, alone bloom in the frosty chill,
seen from afar I know it is not snow,
for a hint of the fragrance to come.
