A Lily I Am

A lily I am upon 
This blue pond,
A pond 
Where tears ripple
And sway me 
Like I the E, to all that 
Is motion
A motion strumming
Its tears for, I 
To stay
And let
My petals quiver,
As the pond continues to ripple
Ripple like love is to the depth of time
Your tears sink beneath
And into the soil,
Where my stems rooted deep 
Sap it of its sadness.
