The Lily and the RoseA Poem by Helen CrutchettMy
heart is a sunken pebble Straining
to catch sunlight The
willow weeps Along
the river bank of longing - My
soul lies in chipped pieces A
thousand facets of diamonds Where
unsung love songs lie Captured
forever - My
bed is freezing cold I
no longer feel the warmth of you My
eyes see sorrow all around The
birds have ceased their twittering As
blossoms fall to the ground - My
days are closing in on me The
night beckons with a moonless sky, The
stars blink back tears Lay
me beneath the magnolia tree That
I shall see my beloved mountain Plant
buttercups for my head Moss
to rest my feet ln
my hands place a lily On my heart a rose -
