Roadside Lilies Hiku 45

in full bloom with delight~
yearning for human sight.

Thank you dear poet for appreciating the above Hiku/Haiku and for your kind wishes. Through the roadside lilies, I also had in mind village beauties often toiling hard in fields, unknown, unseen, unlamented, longing for sympathetic eyes....
