orchidlike delicate petals ~
oozing in shades of teal and admiral
are like dancing ballerinas
hailing for the first kiss of rain
whilst flaxen and golden grasses
are softly cascading honey
flowing where your footsteps go.
ochre and mustard hues from afar
dance in unison with the luminous leaves
of verdun and chateau
like hands of the chosen~
praising the Omnipotent

Notes:Irises is one of several paintings of irises by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh . He started painting Irises within a week of entering the asylum, in May 1889, working from nature in the hospital garden.In 1987, it became the most expensive painting ever sold, setting a record which stood for two and a half years.
