Zyprexa lilies

By Tagen

Intricate,
Like blossum veins blooming,
Spiderwebs buried beneath the lily's labyrinth underbelly, 
Are your thoughts.

Pen in hand,
No one understands
The nebulae you craft with words.
So gifted,
And still so precious to me.

Little brother,
And mother dear -
Never let another 
Speak fear into your souls...

I'll hold you close.

    The muse is a busy bee that flits erratically Tag. Inspiration can indeed become something precious and individually unique. We recognize it as a beautiful thing when gifted. Cheers! - Dan
