Why do you have to wait<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for the spring rain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to water the red lilies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked the keeper?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have enough tears<\/p>\n\n\n\n
hidden deep in waiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to soak the dry earth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
so the blossoms bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
***<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not turn around in amusement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you the unbeliever<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the blossoms bloom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the north wind travels south<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the jet stream surfaces from the deep<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will put on my red dress<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the red shoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
you once bought me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and I never wore<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and plant the red lilies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
on my shoulders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and borrow some warmth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
from the blazing sun<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to set foot on the journey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of no return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
