A pink lily floating on pond water's edge as palms unfolding

As Palms Unfolding

*Serenity muse, poetry for the soul… 

Sunset accentuates 

muted colours 

A loan pink 

lotus, sleepy 

in solitude 

frogs stroking 

by, unawares 

leaves bobble 

a swan, white 

idle, observes 

solitude… 

pleasing 

The lily in 

shallows 

solitary in  

confines, 

as I, 

mimic bliss 

in the bathing 

closing my eyes 

listening, lo 

hidden, a  

hoot owl 

emerges 

Raising my 

hands, open 

serenity  

caressing 

as palms 

unfolding 

healing 

I dream 

surrender
