The Winners

 Greedy, lustful gust of wind

clasped the fragrant petals

of the full-blossomed flower.

Covetous currents of its dark passion

tore the tiny vase of beauty and perfume.

Petals fly with dust in all directions.
The storm doesn't win
and the beauty doesn't lose!

The former loses battle over time and distance

and dies with thorny imprints
left by the stem on its viciously throbbing heart,

The latter spreads its cozily surrendered self

in the limitless folds of peace.
