Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Sakura

The color pink signifies tenderness and fragility.


Beauty is fleeting
T'is like a stranger calling:
Do you remember?

Beauty in glimpses,
flowering for a moment:
Do you remember?

When it comes...
embrace it.

Cherry blossoms signify the fleeting nature of beautiful things
and so it also signifies strength of remembrance.

Friendships undergo a lot of comings and goings - in this life -
and so if we are not mindful of it,

how worthy are we of its reward?
