The Lilies Whisper Poetry

Deborah Amar

 

A summer day can never end

Or so it seems each year

The longer cycles of the sun

Make cloudy skies seem clear

 

Each time the wind begins to chime,

And end begins to near

A whisper of the softest sort

Flows gently to the ear

 

The scent and sight enough are great

Yet lilies live for more

The lilies whisper poetry

As none have heard before

 

The lilies whisper to the day

That sends the breeze below

It touches ground that none can see

Where lilies lively grow

 

Beautifully arrayed in white

And drinking from the soil

Free to whisper their poetry

Without the need to toil

 

But flowers do not last the year

And newer buds must bloom

So short the span of lily life

To give new blossoms room

 

The lilies whisper poetry

That none shall ever know

For just as summer cannot last

The lilies cease to grow

 

But beauty lives from that which dies

And leaves something to last

For lilies whisper poetry

For lilies of the past

Done
