"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.
