Duplicating Snowflakes and Other Signs of Rain - Can Lily Escape? The Saga of Lily Goes On
White gauze on her eyes
taking hostage of her thinking
bandages over her mind
listless...
she fell.
Someone whispered to me,
"She will not fall far
no
not far at all.
No need to worry about Lily.
Walk here
along this splendid path
one careless step
is as good as the other
if you don't envision an outcome.
Sadness lends a soulful journey"
I think of her unending now
the undoing of Lily.
Lily
neglected in the dark.
Me with my jewel-less crown
who did I think I was?
How could I have trusted
listened
to anyone else?
Wasn't she mine for the caring?
Wasn't it me she trusted?
One by one
the monsters surfaced
and Lily
could not fend them off
her mouth filled with cotton.
A giant squid surfaced
pulled at her energy
down
into caves
without openings.
Her treasured creativity
inside the deepest sea.
I cried and screamed,
I pulled my hair
and ran to the shoreline.
"Oh god Lily
wait for me!
If resurrection be possible
I will cause you to float toward saints
pull away those scathing tentacles
let me
please
instill breath in you again.
Oh Lily
forgive me."
No tears can measure any sense of travel
when one does not know the road.
New places lose their value
without a reassurance of home.
When I think of all those masks
that I agreed to toss
away
ohhh.
I stripped us both of shelters
from beating days of rain.
Oh Lily
I will stand in prayer
although I have no hands.
The dragon changed his mind
he beckoned me in a lie
a pitiful story I had believed in.
I thought he was grooming me
that I would know a certain light
but before I recognized his presence
was evil
I had lost my way.
Restless in my heart
my soul torn to shreds
pieces bleeding only black and white
the colors had indeed abandoned us
both.
I was only sleeping
distracted by orchids
who sang tunes
of contemplative searches
for memories past ours
those ones that birth
unmatched miracles.
I was only praying
for a lighter day
I failed to see the sunshine
was already here.
"Oh Lily
let me find a softer letter
you remember that contract
don't you?
The out clause?
I know it is hidden away
somewhere.
I fixed it in that snowflake
the one we tried to measure?
You remember
don't you?
Not to worry
Lily
someone whispers in the wind.
I have my pallet filled now.
No, not with colors
but with moons.
No matter what Lily
I promise you
I will wait on Winter
no matter how long it takes
to find that snowflakes duplicate
OK?"
And with those words of mine
Lily
feeling the rain
simply faded away.
