💧🌿 White Calla's Dorop Poem, “Moon on a White Water's Surface”

I fell beside
a white calla lily
in the quiet morning light.

The petals
looked just like the moon standing on the water's surface,
so clear and pure
that it felt as though the sound would vanish if I touched them.

“Hey, why is it so quiet?”
I asked,
and the calla lily swayed gently.

“Silence, you see,
isn’t about there being nothing;
it’s a place to reflect what’s truly important.”

Those words
spread gently deep within my water,
and the outline of the droplet
became just a little thinner and more transparent.

White,
it’s not that it has no color;
it’s “light that accepts everything,” isn’t it?

I gently rippled with a soft splash,
and held that silence close to my heart.
