Lilies

Let the light paint forgotten words upon your petals,
Dress your memories with tinges of burgundies,
Let budding lilies adorn your dreams,
And weave your songs with fragrant Hope.

Preserve this moment in a spectrum of light,
Banish the darkness with irrepressible joy,
Release the reckless dance of colours,
Before the Sun sets over the lilies in your vase.

--Maria Kimdahl

  1. Wow, I found my poem on your blog! It goes well with the photo :) I am just curious to know where you found it...

    Keep up with your nice blog! Greetings from a chilly Sweden.

  2. Hi, Maria! I remember looking for a really well-written poem to go with my picture, and I found yours, with your name attached, at some poetry website. I thought I found it at at website called tintota.com, but now that I look for it, I can't find the poem and the website doesn't seem to load properly. I hope that it's okay that I used it here with attribution to you as the author (I couldn't see a way to contact you when I found it), but if you'd like me to take it down, I'd certainly be quick to do that.

    Thanks for dropping by. May spring come soon to you (I lived in Finland at one time, and I know how welcome spring is...).

  3. It is fine with the poem on your blog, I am happy if I can contribute or enrich in some way with my art.

    Yes, I also found that Tintota's web page does not work anymore. However, I have some presentation of my art also on
    http://consciousart.de/artists/mariakim.php
    and my poetry on
    http://194.165.231.32/hemma/manahsiksa/eng.html

    Spring has made a quick visit here for a couple of days, but already left us with just a hope for better days.

    All the best for you!
