Buy a Lily

If you have two loaves of bread,

sell one and buy

a lily.

Buy a lily.

Feed your heart

and your eyes.

Feast!

If you have two loaves of bread, 

sell one and buy a lily. 

(An old proverb)

Daylily 2014

Daylilies bloom.

  

Over-the-top luscious; 

they throw everything they have 

into their brief lives.  

How wise.

Yard Full of Yellow

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unrestrained Summer

Unrestrained Summer

A single gold lily
cannot be melancholy
in this erotic garden,
where feathered grasses
fling their pale gold spray
and cover the earth
with seed,
where fragrance fills
the heated air
with rosy dreams,
and stray powders swing
on the backs of bees
fertilizing
every breath
of this
intoxicating
summer.
