Passion Flower (passiflora coccinea)

By Sharon Lia Robinson

(There is a legend that if you pick a passion flower, drink the nectar
and then toss the petals while making a wish, you will actualize your dream).

I drink the nectar
of the passion flower
and toss the bright red petals
into the clear rocky stream

my hands touch the earth
find one smooth
round stone

waterfalls dance
to the ocean.

Esalen Institute
Big Sur, California 1987
