Notes About The Poem

Lily

Languidly adorning cemetery gravesites
Imbued with grace, softly hushed purity
Libation of white lilies splayed upon gray grave
Yielding sentiments of love laden in mourning

Dear Anaya, It's so beautiful and sad at the same time. The way you use those words to describe the scene is so engaging, and the feeling behind it really comes through. It's a truly moving piece. Blessings, Dear Anaya, Daniel

Your first line causes us to slow down and step into and see the beauty and grief of the gravesite.

This is delicate and poignant. The imagery of lilies and mourning conveys both beauty and solemnity with quiet elegance. Thank you for sharing this with us.
