Drawn to the weeds in my flower garden. Frustrated to find them there, yet again. I get down on my knees and start pulling, oblivious to my surroundings. What I really require is a little nudge – a gentle reminder of the blooming flowers that surround my head. Flowers that will soon wither without acknowledgement. I don’t want to miss a single bloom.
Life passes quickly
Sweet moments hide in plain sight
Remember to look

We have to look, especially in spring when flowers blooms and then dissapears in such a rapid rate.

I agree, Jennifer, I don’t want to miss a single bloom either! I’ve been out in the garden most days, except yesterday when it poured with rain. But I am waiting for my meadow flowers to grow and bloom, which will be a blast, and I’ll be out there all the time!

The haiku complements the haibun so well. Life is precious indeed and we must savour each moment instead of focusing on the woes. I thought the haibun was a superb analogy.
