LIFE EFFECTUAL, by                    
First Line: Slender lily smooth and white
Last Line: Calmly silvering to its goal.
Subject(s): Spiritual Life


SLENDER lily smooth and white
whose perfume floats upon the air
like opalescent gossamer;

Butterfly poised, shimmering wings in light,
gold damascene: black, pure-yellow and jade;

Magic music, in its flight
softly winging aloft the soul;

If only a day, of spiritual height
calmly silvering to its goal.
