Regina Elliott Poet Free verse

Lilies Of Lucent Light

Lilies of lucent light,
single file walking along
the cloudless pathway of
the songbirds' garden kingdom.

How fair the child lilies,
a gathering of the guiltless,
in snow-white
First Holy Communion dresses
with lacy veils.
Seven year old springtime
girls with pearly rosaries,
betrothed to the benevolent
Lord in spirit.

They receive the purity of
the Communion wafer
representing His covenant,
they are His lilies of lucent light. ~

Daniel Henry Rodgers March 18, 2024 at 8:01 AM Dear Regina, How beautifully you capture the innocence and purity of young souls embarking on their First Holy Communion journey. I loved the imagery of lilies walking along the cloudless pathway evokes a sense of divine grace and serenity. Your words reflect the sacredness of the moment and the spiritual significance of communion with the benevolent Lord. I always remember my first communion years ago. - Blessings, my friend, Daniel Regina Elliott March 21, 2024 at 4:42 AM Thank you so much, Daniel, it's so very kind of you to take the time to read and positively comment on my poem.
