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

Wildflowers

Thy soul is a quest
to undestand exile truth -
Thy heart is afire!

And grew to adorn
these far away, distant lands -
thy brave blossoming!

Thou art wildflowers
who in thy seeking blossomed...
for a moment, lost.

Now thou art
Home again.

To every flower, a field;
to every heart, a home;
to every human life a blossoming;
unto every truth a true belonging.

But every blossoming that braves
the valley of the shadow of exile -
these are known as "wildflowers"
and they belong to every field
and they adorn every home.

- selah -

In the end, we are all wildflowers.

Every stranger given welcome becomes strangers no more.
