Lillies of the Creek

Acrylics on Wood

On looking down at reeds along the creek

I silenced in myself a ravenous desire

To straighten out the row and lovely seek,

To form a symmetry of beauty like a choir.

Its vision blessed in me a kind of fire.

Up-earthly did I look into the skies

To see waves of blue above the mired reed,

Bent outward like majestic flying kites.

I then leaned forward and with my might,

I caught a slash of heaven’s aura.

As reeds looked like they could take flight,

I breathed in all of nature’s flora,

And exhaled art to show the need

To save all of nature’s blooms of reed.
