Watercolor Lily

 



Watercolor petals gently release an inner glow – a tranquil light.

Lovely lanterns float on indigo among the glossy pads that invite tiny feet to tread lightly ...

– Stepping stones for rails.
– Rafts for frogs.

I must kneel down to see your true beauty.

In silence, on my knees, I receive your gift of serenity.

  1. It’s so good to see and read these on their own. They can get overlooked when going through a few pages even though I try not to do too many at once.

    1. I understand what you mean Anvilcloud. I wanted to have each poem on a separate page for that reason, although I did put three Haikus on one page in my second book.
