I can’t keep with the trail <br />Of her effervescent spoor; <br />Star-shine and moon dust <br />Pleasant are the petals of her hair <br />That wave hello in the air <br /> <br />There’s a feeling of glory <br />Grasping the sunset’s giggles <br />Each time an amazement <br />From her secluded laughter <br />And spoken stories <br />Are shared beyond the fences <br />And into the windows of <br />Sleeping and waking children <br /> <br />I have a weary heart that beats <br />But she makes me feel young <br />The time of the day is at halt <br />I disappear into her mirrored <br />Paradise and rhythmic hums <br />She is a beautiful ocean <br />That made the universe envious <br />She is a magnificent heaven <br />That made lifetimes jealous <br /> <br />Never mind the loneliness, <br />Her golden wings take flight <br />To unfathomable distances, <br />Look into the chambers <br />Of my ready heart <br />It’s floral wallpaper <br />Are faces of her, traces too <br />Of her breath-taking fragments<br /><br />Janine Alyssa Navarro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lilys-of-the-field/
