Lucy's Easter Lilies

My bedroom became 
quietly flooded 

in a heady floral fragrance,


it's  sweet silent cloud 

filled
 the cool air with it's
intoxicating perfume for days.



The sweet earthy scent


did quietly creep into my nose,
and those during dark hours

when I lay in my
blanket laden bed,
 

a local owl's eerie hooting
added to the background confirmed 

the 
sounds of early spring.



Lily's now white delicate petals


form fragrant trumpets most temporary,


contrasting the darkest green leaves,
to fashion a telling polarity in color,
and a profound tale of the ephemera.
