Easter Lily

Her leaves unfold with the harvest moon's rising
As Mother Nature watches idly by...
Opening the heavens to view her frolicking ways,
Clouds majestically disclose a clear sky.

Her lacy white texture opens up with sweet nectar
Displayed in moist droplets like pearl...
Pollinating by moonlight and twinkling stars,
Her spirit soars like an infatuated young girl.

Her fragrance of spring blankets rolling green hills
With church bells ringing in rhythm and rhyme...
Joining in chorus with hummingbirds and bumblebees,
Her life blossoms throughout ages of time.

She rejoices the birth of earth's jubilation
Like a gentle whisper from a newly wed wife...
Adorned in her bouquet of flowering beauty,
An ornament of our Savior's new life.

Bob; You made this lovely poem come alive so well that I'm sitting here smelling those lilies in my mind. Thanks for this beauty. ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Wow Bob, what a beautiful little movie you have created with this.  It was as if I were watching it all unfold before my eyes.  Bonnie

Oh so beautiful!!!
This poem has truely painted a magical picture inside my mind.Thank you for teaching me to see the simple,yet complex beauty of the lily.Things can only be as beautiful,as we allow our minds to see them.
