"Happiness is to hold flowers in both hands."
~Japanese Proverb
God’s poetry flows in flowers
touched by the barn
swallow
I can hear it in the
sway
of cherry blossom
branches
that dance on a breeze
like a ballerina in
Swan Lake
their grace is more
than a presence or
movement
they reach out and touch
the onlooker
beyond the iris
into the heart
a poem of God written upon our soul.
