The Iris danced across
The ancient Grecian skies.
Gliding with her embossed
Satiny milken sides.
Her lithe and nimble limbs
Moved methodically…
From her cream white petals
To her supple stem.
The nectar that she carried
Was transposed into a hymn.
“I must use my moments wisely,
For they shall soon pass away…
And be lost to me forever…
A mere memory of my yesterdays…
“Thus she sung
And thus she cried.
Her voice set to harp
And lyre.
So true a call
So true a heart
Did Zeus himself see…
“Come now unto Mt Olympus
Oh white Iris,
And our announcer be…
“She floated along
In such a curving grace…
Transposed she was
In time and space…
The blessed arched path
Which she did go,
Became the journey for
All our eternal rainbows.

Ahh one of my favorite pieces!
I know you know how much this meant to me when you wrote it, but I want you to know it is a treasured piece of art to me now.
Not only did I inspired the poet to write a special prose just for me, but I have managed to engage her as my dearest best friend!!
True Friendship….no words can throughly capture that emotion.
Love you xoxo
Dear dear Tam, What fun it was to bring you to life in this piece of prose…Although I was writing it with your White Iris Design company in mind…it is still very much how I see you…as a rainbow in my life…The promise of a better tomorrow…One that can be complete as our friendship continues to grow.
I am so proud to call you my best friend and to really mean it… and to know that you call me yours, is a blessing.
Love you Sis Tam!
