WORLD WEARY (Sijo)
(i) Myra
Moon turned a blind eye to sorrow. Stars speak of none but shimmers.
Sun scorched in daily dying; offers to its eternal Source.
Words have become too heavy to word Light. Lovers are silent.
(ii) Ron
Lillypilly leaves droop at noon; delicate, pink-tipped, silent.
Wind back the clock’s hour hand to dawn. Dew on wild tulips glistens.
Images, with words, fade at night. One more day nearer to God.

Adding your comment:
Lillypilly is new to me, it sounds like a child's name for whatever it is, sweet. I can't comment on sijo form.
What a gentle picture you sketched here and how POSITIVE a perspective. Purely divine.
