WATERLILIES I O waterlilies of Monet— Majestic colors they display Like Fra Angelico's lucid blue Showing the beautiful and the true. Gathering here is the angelic choir Praising the glories of the Higher. Budding lotus from the muddy ground Drinking golden nectar from the pond Purified by water's crystalline flow Nurtured by the sun's eternal glow Swimming on the surface of the lake Communing with the air as they wake Unfolding the story of you and me The soul's pilgrimage to be free. — Peter Y. Chou Paris, 7-28-1979 |
