Lilies of the valley

Justice Garret

Metro Academic and Classical High School

Born in the breezy morn,

clinging to earth’s surface

beautiful in the human eye,

disastrous to graze upon.

Bells pale as porcelain skin,

Lilliputian, like a marble

swaying on the thin leafless stem

flourishes in abundance:

They embody life.

Bringing forth the sweet essence of love and joy,

yet echoes the whispers of sorrow and loss

 

In their presence

the sphere comes to a pause—

In that speck of time

Peace finds its place:

Lilies of the valley.
