Thank you so much, it's one of my favourite images here too 💛
I always loved red spider lilies and loved how beautiful and delicate they are.
In some cultures they're even associated with death or resurrection, so I thought it's extra fitting here in a poem where the young self has to die for the birth of a new self 😊
“In a field of red
spider lilies unfurled
like her exposed heart.”
Such a beautiful image

Ooooh! Thank you for that – I’d had no idea. The poem’s laden with significance. :)
