勿忘我
秋季將臨日如梭,道邊常遇勿忘我。
別來江上風波多,明月不開往事鎖。
Forget-me-nots
All summer long, forget-me-nots
have been blooming by the roadside
even at the peak of heat.
They brightened my daily commute.
At times, they brought back memories,
some of which are blue,
some are bright yellow,
much like the colors of the flower.
No matter I like it or not,
it's an unintended consequence
solely due to the name of the flower .
Nature won't take credit nor blame
for its emotional effect or name.
