The Story of the Lily - Original Poetry

in poetry •  8 years ago 

The lily breathes the sun

Her face turned up in love;

Surprise,

Knowing winds may

Sprinkle rain

She lives for

Just today.

Tranquil prayers stay

Her lips

Once kissed with dew

Shadows cross them, too.

Yet, never frets or cares

Her beloved's voice calling

Makes each morning new.

No stranger to the night,

Tucking petals

Close and tight

Holding as a dreamer

A beaconing days fresh light.

No jealousy,

No pretention.

The world may hold it's pain

But she a random wayfarer

Will give her life again

Just a fragile bloom...

Seen by one or two

All she has

She shares

Once glimpsed

She'll bewitch even you.
