Suddenly, from the sea of rain-drenched green,
the lilies burst forth, their scarlet petals wide
and blazing with color so intense
that you could not look away.
It was as if the very soul of fire
had taken form during the night,
determined to bring its light to life
in these three, spectacular flowers.
And as you stood there, face to face
with them, they warmed you to your core
and sang a long-forgotten song
that you last heard at the moment
of your birth, and its words were words
of welcome, and its sound was the roaring
of the Yes.
