Trumpet Lilies

Almost a year ago today
 the trumpet lilies played
a melody in June's masquerade.

A cluster formed within a hidden circle
 deep orange, whites, yellows, crimson pirate reds,
silent, still, amidst the waterfall gurgle
 with only a hint of the color stain purple bled.
     
Renewed and winter sheltered
 blooms return after a spring storm flood
and the start of summer humid swelter
 welcome the days of new blossom and bud.

A palette of tall enticing risings
 calls to hummingbird and butterfly
of nature's bounty in beauty surprising.
