Water Lily

WATER LILY

reflections..... 

           unfolding  from 
   
                    your silken-white hands

send mirrors            of yellow peace

           gently nourishing those who seek

                                healing         upon arrival

                                                         at your 
            
                                                                 shores

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 8/8/2009 1:39:00 PM Absolutely beautiful, James! I never thought of the water lilies as "silken-white hands" before, and I love the way you allow them to nourish those who find these floating treasures. (Still in the process of moving, but was suffering Soup withdrawal so I had to visit.) Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
