Red Lily Pond – Claudia Demick

Red Lily Pond

By Claudia Demick

The lilies of the field
Neither sow nor spin
But
The lilies of
This pond
This watery field
Spin and twirl
Dip and move
In their
Elegant, windy dance.
No mere sprinkling of
Baptismal waters for you!
The ripples
Immerse
And baptize you
In watery
Splendor.
