Flowers
are God's way of
saying that She
is all things
distinct and funky
we need them
to understand
the ambiguity of life
as wild as they are
boundless
and eager to please
They have the courage to
rise up from concrete
to exist  
experiencing Herself
and to explore
the endless wanton ways
Inspired by Gloria O'Keeffe's painting Black Iris
