Violet and bell-like
Upstanding and brave
Azure and white, or yellow and slight
Buds as small cones that unfolds in a swirl
An emblem for samurais, amid Heian peers
Shadows protect and assist them to growth
*
Mountain dweller and tonic giver
Bog lover, temperate,
But still cosmopolitan
*
Circling
Swirling
Dreaming
Of snow
