Water Lily Light and Lizard Patterns

this lily,
in concert with the sun,
doing its part
to shine bright
through the darkness of all
that is incomprehensible
in this world.

Giving plants dish water,
this lizard taking in the heat of stone.
Staring at me with its golden eye
wearing the most amazing intricately-patterned
skin, freshly shed,
Turquoise jewels emerge.
