Lily’s Light
something caught my attention this quiet morning
softly yet with great determination
the single lily
that dares to seek the light
as nature succumbs to winters sleep
letting not
what is all around
keep her down
her beauty blooms within
now seeking to flourish
in the glory of God’s light
understanding
the fight of life is but a journey
reflecting all that she is
and going to be
is the beautiful lily rising
surfacing
in God’s timing
offering the purest of love
giving of herself without expectation
her roots running deep
nourished by this life that has carried her
into this light of now
somehow
knowing
she believed
more was yet to come
natures seasons
seasoned her will to try
offering water to grow in the darkest of storms
rainbows light brought her through
bridging the gap of the unknown
to be known
graced by the light of One
she seeks
His peace
this lily that dares to bloom
as nature succumbs to sleep
this
the strength of hope
of love reunited
one light
one God
one direction
beautiful it is
this lily of mornings light
