Where The Water Lily’s Grow

The flowers in their spring
Beauty no longer in the eye
Beholden to none
Flowing in the water 

Our love lived there
Where the water Lilys grow
We walked down the river, together
Tangling feet in mud

The summer air
Young love pushing our persons
Only simply time itself
Denigrating our water Lilys

Leaving our walk
Bereft the stream
Dried bones
Are all I became

The place the water lies grow
Presses on for others
Abandoned is what I caused you
Listless is where I’m left

Take care,
Wherever your water Lilys grow
Make it there
Be happy for the both of us

Alone in dirt,
Touched only by leaves
Is where you may find
The mound of bones,
That once was me
