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! - - - The Lilies We All Will Be.
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!!
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!
An awesome post...

Well...what do I say...have often written on 'life'...but then death is equally an important aspect.... a very poignant haiku...

Tear soaked Lily - devine, lovely Haiku
ReplyDeleteAh, 'tear soaked lilies' broke my heart. But, lovely lovely expression!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about lilies, I wonder, that seems to inspire so much sadness?
