"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.
