Hibiscus and water

Beautiful and brief
Is your blooming above
Our late summer leaf . . .

Sudden as descent of
White startled dove
Your wonder was sent . . .

At dawn you were not seen
Now you're splashed on marsh
Where only green has been . . .

Are you butterflies
Immobilized in flight
Drifting from our skies . . .

Frail as paper boat
Are you musical notes
Dropped on creek to float . . .

Are you pastel dreams
And is our colored marsh
Not the grass it seems . . .

Soon you're borne away
Reflected in streams
Of our Piscataway . . .

Beautiful and brief
Is your stay above
The late summer leaf . . .
