a single yellow iris placed before me
...nothing more...nothing less
the iris...a symbol of all time
hope, faith, wisdom, purity, and promise...
of love
but...the yellow iris
mere passion!
the depth of all feeling
a sacred flower
Iris, ancient Greek goddess, messenger of love
iris, meaning 'rainbow', link between heaven and earth
the iris, prized by the pharoahs
and French Monarchy of the Middle Ages
...with it's stylized iris Fleur-de-lis symbol
of iris, many palaces are adorned

parting the haze before my eyes
the sender of my lone flower appeared
I saw her approach, straight before me
she beckoned
I followed her from the table to the small dance floor
we embraced...moved to the music
when the music ended
I just followed.....
how could I not?
