Water Lily Moon

Water lily moon, give me a new name.

I will search your face,

keep you in full view as you slide

wrinkled among branches of pine.

I am waiting. My hand dips

this cool river,

your ripples follow my fingers

tracing the rounded veins

of one lily pad after another.

Let me stay the night.
