I Would Be An Iris

I would be an Iris
dressed in ragged purple clothes
blooming by the side walk
where everybody goes

I would be an Iris
with petals richly hued
basking in the wonder
whenever I am viewed 

I would be an Iris
to stop you in your tracks
to hold you in a moment
where time does not elapse.
