Waterlilies

-- Four Haiku --

1.

Pink waterlilies

rise up from the depths and bloom,

as we, still alive.

2.

In shaded shallows

they rise up, these gravid buds,

and open, sunlit.

3.

Open, and sunlit,

bright on a darkened surface,

they bloom light and life.

4.

Our own dark surface

needing light, needing to bloom

Pink waterlilies.
