stealthily the lilly-pilly grows <br />quietly and gently and discreetly <br />in the warmth of the day <br />in the gentle embrace of the night; <br />the native puts forth its quiet tips <br />and dances its gentle growth <br />and the day after <br />as I turn at the corner in the garden <br />I see its new blushing leaves<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stealthily-the-lilly-pilly-grows/
