The White Lily (Novelinee) Poem by Gert Strydom

The White Lily (Novelinee)



As if constantly caught in a prayer
sprung from the very painful tears of Eve
white petals reach holy into the air
as if in purity it does believe
that it can bring a kind of loveliness,
a type of radiant flowering light,
as it flowers in a kind of eagerness
with a soft fragrance filling the night,
as if being a saintly vessel, it might.

Only a true poet could see mother nature through such expressive eyes... exceptional piece.. the first line banned and remained in my mind whilst completing this little gem...
