IRIS

She is magical to one's eyes
As she unfurls in her full bloom
To reveal a kaleidoscope
Of color touching lives.

Purple petals that reaches
Uplifts my wounded soul
And the scent that sends
away my troubles left unspoken

In a garden she stands bright
And softly lightens my heart
How pure! As she dances
with the breeze and moon's tender light.
