Hibiscus and Sparrow

by Raj Arumugam

it’s just a moment
with the hibiscus in bloom
and the sparrow in flight
chirping as it does, perhaps;
just a moment, perhaps all of it
in the stream of being and existence:
and me, just getting up from my chair

From: 
poem based on painting "Hibiscus and Sparrow" by Katsushika Hokusai
