Petals

The Iris in its gift of bloom
Emergent beauty in hues of splendor
Majestic grace in nature's array
Petals in sublime surrender.

Realms

Inner realms of thought
Constant change of light and form
Such wondrous array.

Mystical moment
A calling of creation
The pulsing Great Mind.

Graceful Bow and Sway

Bamboo in graceful bow and sway

Holding the sun’s light in brilliant verdant array
Dancing shadows of supple canes I to behold
Among the lithe and lush leaves touches of gold
A late afternoon, gifts of an early summer day
The wind, the robin’s song and bamboo canes at play.

Majestic Array

Petals enfolding the caress of light
Wings of violet brushed with white
Savor I such flowering rapture this day
The Iris, Spring's bloom in majestic array.
