Lilly

Dignified and sedate
as befits a Queen among
her breed, she moves with
grace and majesty through the
forest her presence taking on
the hue of the overwhelming
presence of winter in the
landscape, a picture of
perfection in white-on-white
her statuesque form a
perfection of conformation
serene in her place
knowing herself as a
calm presence whose
appearance raises admiration
and confidence that in her
presence nothing can go
awry, her very stillness
the assurance that this
steadfast creature of
nature's striving for perfection
represents a hallmark of
her creator's finesse.
