Where The Rain Lilies Lie by Mike Williams 07/24/2016 @ 9:37 A.M.

Beyond the edge of parched grass a patch of surprise came, 
A glimpse of pink perfection I see arise after midsummer rain. 
Lilies wave and smile in the sunshine where none were before, 
And happiness takes shape in my heart I thought void in store. 

The storm has passed since yesterday over a seeming baren field, 
A twist of life left behind in its sudden traces sweetly yield. 
Strange to think that only a day ago I had not a hope or sigh. 
And feelings change surprisingly as where Rain Lilies now lie.
