Lilies

I lay here today
to observe my surroundings
I look onto the clear pond
And I notice the lilies

The beautiful sweet fragrance
That the little flowers have
It invigorates my soul
and lifts my spirit

I stand up and wade
out to the beauty
I am knee deep in mud
but I don’t notice

The smell intoxicates me
I feel like I am dancing
with my girl on the pads
I pick the flower

I didn’t stop or go away
until I had a bouquet
Then I looked at the dull pond
regretting what I have done

I walk home with grief
feeling like a thief
I drop them in a vase
and give them to my girl

I hope at least she appreciates
The flowers beauty
At least another can
But no one else

What have I done?
