A blanket of countless hues
a tapestry painted
from the skies
each sweet in spring's blossom and
each vibrantly beautiful in
summer's care.
They branch out across
the grassy slopes
their hallowed stems opening
to greet my soul
and like angels frolic across the meadow
to wrap me in their
caring embrace.
And as their petals share
an ardent dance with
the shifting winds
and the river's songs
I look upon these irises
with enraptured awe
and wonder
how my heart lets
these wondrous joys
be lost
through the
burdens of life.
When life's true happiness
is not in one's
glorious feats and
accomplished dreams
but from the simplest whisper
from an angel's voice
through an
Iris' melody.

It is nice to see your poetry again. This one is so nice written much different than your previous rhyming poetry but not less meaningful. Nice tribute to your friend.

Haha...thanks my friend. Yes, it is quite different no? It's been over a few months since I've picked up the pen and started writing. These few months have been an emotional roller coaster ride for me, I'm glad the holidays have given me time to think....
Thanks Sonja!
