  2. a serene haiku.. calm! loved it..
    I wrote about death too. But after reading others' haiku, a few of them wrote on the same. Is there a link between lilies and death? I did not know!!
    A brilliant haiku. Keep writing!

  6. What is it about lilies, I wonder, that seems to inspire so much sadness?

  7. Soulful but Lilies are a symbol of fertility, being used as a wedding flower, and also of death, being placed on graves. But they really are beautiful!!

    1. I found many meanings for lily. One is that it restores a soul to innocence after one's death which I referred to as "safe passage". It also means everything else you said. Thanks for visiting!
