daylily

Uncontainable

shoulder to shoulder
the flowers a joyful gathering
asking us to do the same

in the softness
of a summer morning
the landscape still dreaming

profusion of bloom
the welcoming committee
come in, come in

right and below you
wilts yesterday’s beauty
above you awaits tomorrow’s

shadow bird
perched inside
the lily’s heart

the spirit restores
finding the space of place
along gracious paths

when wings
are petals
an intricate intimacy

don’t forget me
the daylily implores
leaning into the spotlight

who knew?
chipmunks are
the early birds
