Shadows Of The Lily. Poem by Okoronkwo Jonathan Jackson

Rays of ornamental adonment
flaunts my garden.
With shadows of admiration.

Fragrance of joy fills my portion
As that lily sprouts in my garden.

Glorious reflection unveiling the green
of the daisies in the hillside.

Shadows of love and laughter-
all over I see-
Of that lily in my garden grown.

Shadows of consolations
fills my heart
to tarry with that shadow my desire.

Shadows of passion_
the songs in my heart,
to always hear a lullaby from the voice of that lily.

To the smile I live,
to the feeling I cling- for this lily whose shadow
on me cast.

(I dedicate this poem to My Love, Brenda Okafor, her shadows fill and gladen me with joy and to her I owe my love forever) .
