The Flower Antenna : Simile Poetry

written by Poet : EC


A lily, yes a noble lily in bloom
balanced in beauty, nothing superfluous
each part belongs as part of the other
all of them residents of the same house
the stem is their staircase, also their spine
the root their base in this part of eternity 

What touches my heart is the upright stem
this flower aims high, its an antenna into Space
no human connects Earth and Air, least of all
builds on to the stars like this flower
we scuttle along on the ground, jump a little
but no real connection to the vast Space
except in our hearts when open to
the Harmonies of the Spheres
