Floating on a waterfall.

"What kind of flower
Pulls us into the future
And offers us hope?"
She turned away, hid her face,
And softly spoke, "White Lily."

Little lilly, lovely and lithe,
Lifting your lush head,
Lovely and light, lingering in the sun.

Ground chews sweet leaves 
Wind fans fall tree particles.

Sufis whip up Lily air.
I know the Loves are always.

An angel appeared beyond pale
So bright lily white
My toes curled in fright
And even worse, she was a male!

He said, "See the lovely Lily!"
She wasn't young,
But had a sweet tongue,
How could he say no to her silly.
