Home Among The Lilies

Water lilies

Tarn of glass or churning tide
you clean the water as you ease the mind.
Your gift is your beauty.
You are a springtime treat
and I long for your blooming
my flower amongst the reeds

Water lilies; I was told they were lotuses, but no...the lotus rises above the water, the water lilies lie upon its surface.
When I was ten, I went to a museum and saw Monet's water lilies painting. Never having seen an impressionist painting before, I concluded that Claude Monet was as nearsighted as I was!
This is a lovely, tranquil write,Cherrie. Very nice!

[Cherrie L Bill]

His painting is what I had in mind and thank you :)

a charming poem when Lillies heal a broken mind and soothe the soul of love forborne...

Nature is a most abundant gift. We needn't seek happiness when it is there before us for the taking. Such a lovely sentiment in this piece, Cherrie!

I hope finding beauty in such a small thing brings you all the happiness you can hold inside.Nice to see you writing again

[Cherrie L Bill]

Yes, it's nice to be writing 86 days was a long dry spell. But who's counting:)

Nature has so many wonderful gifts. Appreciating them is where true happiness comes from. This poem say you are a very happy person.

[Cherrie L Bill]

Thank you, :) inner peace is one of God's best gifts I do find so much peace in nature.

Great details & imagery to paint a scene I may not have ever seen or imagined, but I love when a writer sees & shares aspects of nature (especially) that are new to me! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Cherrie L Bill]

Me too, feeling that nature provokes is endless as well as timeless.
I'm always glad when my friends can join me.

Dear Cherrie. Amazing use of words.
"You are a springtime treat
