Trillium

 Here’s a brief springtime poem, conceived on a walk in the woods. A trillium is a three-petaled, white flower, a fleur de lis. A cabuchon is an uncut, but polished, gem.


Trillium


There is a jewel in the May wood,

A cabochon of dew in a three-petaled setting.

Earth’s tear shed for the beauty of the day

And the fragility of life.
