I am planted, I am growing, I am watered by my Father’s love. – jjf

Lucid Lilies

I was awakened to
Reflections of sunshine
Creating an angelic bouquet
Of silvery white glitters, dancing
In my diamond-shaped mirror
Angled to the north
Fixed.
Mesmerically lost,
I reached for the bunch
Still,
To behold it some more,
And the closer I got,
My Lilium mirage,
So fleeting and rare,
Was lifted from me-
Vanished into thin air.

Growing in a Rocky Place 

I was once a flower given by love’s hand,  

Braving all weather, causing smiles so grand.  

Found in hard-trodden paths, soaking up the sun,  

You passed by with your burdens when the day was done. 

You looked down and saw my radiant glow,  

Others called me wild, letting the judgment flow.  

But your troubled mind,  

Found comfort in my petals, gentle and kind. 

Though no longer a bouquet on your kitchen table,  

I remain here for you, steadfast and able 

To soothe your worrisome thoughts while my petals fall in silence 

Whispering promises of peace amidst life’s defiance. 

And I, too, weeded out  

or die.
