this lily has no thorns
to prick the bleed of your soul;
hold her then
in a gentle way,
for if she has a grace
it is born from scars
of walking barefoot
through sun's fire
and choking
on the melt-drown
of moon's ice

did you not hear
the words of her voice tears?
sharing a secret
that flows in the veins
of her earth life;
this fragile gift,
wrapped in soft velvet
of bruised petals,
is all she has to give

never doubt, my Love,
the lily's words
are as true and certain
as the clear vision
of her sky eyes
reaching ever upward
from an earthbound home--

and those words
are meant
for you

"And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul."
Pablo Neruda

There's a sense of healing that surfaces from the pain of your words.

Much enjoyed Sandpiper~
