    It is a beautiful haiku.
    I wish I knew what poui blossoms are like, but even if I don't know, I can associate the falling blossoms with your loss.

    dear gillena,
    flower petals fall in a great honoring and like your thoughtful haiku bow to the gift of life,
    and the humble moment of passing.

    A flag at half-staff marks a sombre occasion. May it also invite introspection.
