An Orchid

An Orchid
Astir, the bestilled buds wake, an ocean,
Nascent feel Aurora's palm in motion,
Of her perianths like a kestrel's wings,
Rare diaphanous prismatic heartstrings,
Chimeric visions arrest passing eyes,
Halcyon's confidences, secrete her guise,
Iridescence and redolence yon oaths,
Divine dulcet elysian her outgrowths.
