Barbara Hoffman
Sacrament
plum, celadon green, aqua, mauve
Monet's water lilies floating on shimmering pearlescence
moss green leaves
over the arch of the bridge
ponds jewelled with water lilies
immersed in violet, lavender, dove gray
a curtain of almond skims the water
I am laved in iridescence
amethyst and heliotrope
glaze of dapple gray sheer hyacinth and periwinkle
swaddled in pillows of color of water
platinum, pewter
drenched in honeysuckle, flax and fawn
embraced in the arms of light on canvas
wrapped in the mantle of still ponds
I am baptized in water lilies
