Water lily

http://mobiusfaith.wordpress.com/

In settled kiss of watery home
the lily pads are spread,
upon a face of liquid light;
afloat on sodden depths.
Without the deliquescent touch
of pond's perennial gift,
life would enter into death
and all would drown within.

  1. Yes - isn't it amazing how lily pads can appear in quite horrible water. Growth will happen, but maybe we (as a species) should not count on it. k.
