Daylilies [132] (20 lines)
Daylilies

White haired

looking out this window
at past dreams

gentle winds and rain
wash away spent cobwebs
and dust from orange petals
as I sit alone
behind these drapes

a looking out
a looking in

what was and never was
gathering
as puddles recollect my deeds
to mirror them back to me

those ephemeral reflections
no longer my reality

wind lessens and raindrops cease
and I close the drapes
to the lilies that bloom
each day
