Exquisite Poem by Reynaldo Casison

You may be a rose
But to me you 're an iris

You may be the moon
But to me you're a lovely iris

You may be the beach
You may be the sun
But to me you're an iris
Illuminating

You may be a wave
You may be a mist
But to me you're an iris
Splendid in its ways
Beautiful in its rays

You may be a rose, the
Moon, the sun, the beach
The mist and the wave
But to me you're an exquisite iris
Enfolding all that is lonely and
Lovely

Reynaldo Casison
