It is quite a moving poem and a very striking photograph. Is that an Azalea? I would love to know the translation of the title. Titles are important to me. I can get a general sense of what it says, but I'd love to know for sure. At the risk of sounding trivial concerning such a moving poem I do have a few comments. I don't understand the semicolons at the end of the verses. There are other places that the punctuation seems off, but the semis are the most curious. Also, I think heart wrenching is two words, but could be wrong on that score. My spell checker flagged it and I can't find it as one word in my Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary. As I said, these are really trivial points on such a moving poem. Very nice. I too hope you keep posting. jon
