If
Love
Drifts
Like floating
White water lilies
Trapped within crystal bowls,
As light glided through a flame
Burning ivory candles
Circles of light
Holy passion
Cherished
Together
Alone.

Life From A Park Bench 
Candles are symbolic in letting go. Love the image of white water lilies in crystal bowls
nice play on the symbolism of candles….the releasing to god to take care of….
This reads like a meditation, Alan! Love the ‘circles of light.’
beautifully expressed. very touching! thank you!
i love the image of white water lilies in crystal bowls, ivory candles burning and circles of light…very delicate, touching and spiritual….
I, too, was most struck by the floating white water lilies trapped within crystal bowls……..also love the “together alone”…..loved it!
I like the flow of your poem, how it mirrors the drifting white water lilies. Great use of imagery that made me think of purity.
Beautiful spiritual images…serenity and peace !
Nicely done Alan…thanks for sharing

This is just lovely – a very exquisite, delicate quality – almost as though it should be read in reverent whispers.
white water lilies in crystal bowls and burning ivory candles make for beautiful imagery in this alan.
