Description


 As always , a deviation to my birthday ...
Lycoris radiata . those spider lilies never let me down .



Since these spider Lilies usually bloom near cemeteries around the autumnal equinox,
they are described in Chinese and Japanese translations of the Lotus Sutra as ominous flowers that grow in 地 獄(also known as Hell),
and guide the dead into the next reincarnation.
A famous legend is of two elves: 曼 珠, who guarded the flower, and 沙 華 who guarded the leaves.
Out of curiosity, they defied their fate of guarding the herb alone, and managed to meet each other.
At first sight, they fell in love ♥ with each other. G.O.D, exasperated by their waywardness, separated the miserable couple,
and laid a curse on them as a punishment: the flowers of 曼 珠 shall never meet the leaves of 沙 華 again.
It was said that when the couple met after death in hell , they vowed to meet each other after reincarnation.
However, neither of them could keep their words. ♥

Some other legends have it that when a person sees someone that they may never meet again, these flowers,

also called red spider lilies, would bloom along the path. Perhaps because of these sorrowful legends .

 Do you hear the words I mumble

Do you curse the day I met you

Because I left you

But I won’t forget you


I left you for another man

And he doesn’t deserve me

I know this inside

But he holds my heart

Between light and the dark

And I, I wish it was you

 Kate Walsh ( light and the dark )

I heard a fragment of this song on one of the tv commercials.
Since then I started my search with lyrics and this is the only link I found which includes the whole mp3.
Under it I read that the song was composed specially for the commercial.
I believe it's why finding it was so hard.

Here it is (Have Your late-birthday feast! )

'Flowers know of life
Progressing from root to bud
is not a small feat

Flowers also know of death
A wilting bloom mourns its fate'


A belated happy birthday! I hope this poem isn't too morbid for the occasion - I thought it might suit you
Congratulations on your new career! I saw from your Instagram account that you passed and have been hard at work helping the homeless, well done!
