Considering The Lilies Still

Rhythmic curls of white

Stained with pink

Rest upon simple green stems.

Shaped like brides dress;

Organza scallops

Rest at the top of the vase.

Tight, stiff buds stretch

Their heads over

The mature blooms

As if to see something

In the distance.

The ceremony soon

Shall come to a close,

As all relax and play their part.

Buds loosened, all flower heads bloomed

And finishing in final glory.

Enjoyed and spectacular

Yet only for a time.
