~ Siren Song of White Iris – Poem by Muse ~

~White Iris~
The Iris danced across
The ancient Grecian skies
Gliding with her embossed
Satiny milken sides
~
Her lithe and nimble limbs
Moved methodically
From her cream white petals
To her supple stem.
The nectar that she carried
Was transposed into a hymn
~
“I must use my moments wisely,
For they shall soon pass away
And be lost to me forever…
A mere memory of my yesterdays.”
~
Thus she sang
And thus she cried.
Her voice set to harp
And lyre.
~
So true a call
So true a heart
Did Zeus himself see?
“Come now unto Mt Olympus
Oh white Iris,
And our announcer be…”
~
She floated along
In such curving grace
Transposed she was
In time and space
The blessed arched path
Which she did go
Became the journey for
Heaven’s promised rainbow.
