Irises Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Irises



Irises bathe in rays of morning sunlight
beaded with dew…yawning with the wake of day
slowly relinquishing the traces of a gentle kiss

Outstandingly beautiful without a doubt...
lovely petals gracefully remind me
of a stationary fountain forever spraying

Central petals reach toward the sky
emulating slightly cupped praying hands
lower petals curve downward elegantly
like a soft and calming overflow

Appearing in an array of cloaking colors
yellow and purple primarily…pale to darker shades
Often brushed with delicate strokes of white...
elevated on sturdy stems of firm strength
with blade green leaves of stretching length

Their delicate form expresses tranquillity…
attentive focus brings refinement into view
delicately ruffled edges define it's royal status
A translucent glow intensifies spectacular beauty
bestowing visual pleasure to all who witness

Such loveliness beckons throughout the day
with an unspeakable rapture of radiance
nothing can compare or imitate...
such beauty is truly a gift from God
