A Flower To Auroville Mother-75 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Spider lily(Beach spider lily
Hymenocallis littoralis)

Calm and lovely, she's Spider Lily
White and peace she's Spider Lily
Pristine and pure she's Spider Lily
Silent and certain she's Spider Lily

There, up above the fanning leaves
Just below staminal cup she's
Overflowing her nectarean streams
Mind-blowing her aura measureless

Sacred tepals lofty with beauty
Stamens atop like in watchful duty
There goes heaven's sweet ditty
Miss not a white goddess pretty
