Lily Stains
Like droplets of dust on my window pane
it’s a shame to see these yellow stains
I may gasp at first
but then a small smile begins to burst
just like the vibrant golden nectar
Baked into my t-shirt, like a pastry treat
the exploding powder, a burst of color
it reminds me of all the bright things around us
it’s Holi without the ritual
it’s Spring wrapped in rhythm
A good dream with messy reward
Many stains but much to gain
Oh how I love
my lily stains
