Oh, Lily How beautifully you lie there, In the curly waves of the river Golden beams gently touch your skin As a way to wake the sleeping saint
A trumpet of petals calls me from afar; It is the only thing that I hear Blaring in a quiet hearth Where a name without vowels is engraved I wander, unaware of its gentle retreat.
I watch it dance Six needles holding the stamen Like a surfboard grasping for its life One more whirl of the winds, Then it would fall on the carpel's feet.
I sojourned in this garden once; You might never see me or I might never see you Let Zeus lurk for Hera's liquid at last 'Till it splashes, stained, and bloom In every season of my mind.
