Fleur de lys Somewhere over the rainbow the daughter of Titan's flew. A lovely haloed maiden fair with flowing hair, and fast of wing. Traveling with the speed of the wind splitting light waves as she crossed the sky. In her wake the rainbow was born. From the 'eye of heaven' earthward, bearing commands from Gods Zeus and Hera. In Greek Mythology she was named the 'Goddess of the Rainbow'. Her task was bringing women's souls to paradise. To reveal to them love in varied form. To encourage hope, peace, gratitude, and compassion. On earth, in the springtime she comes into day as floral sovereign. Lofty stature, she's the flower Iris. Delicately fleshed blushed in beautiful, as fresh and true of multi-hues, the poor man's orchid. Common yet royally rich, the three petal Flag. Guarded sacred in the garden stand by sharp and bladed knaves. She's pleasure to the soul, a brilliant show of cheer and healing. From the sun to a raindrop to your eye, the rainbow arcs. Presenting part of the full circle. Our souls exist through our eye, colored Iris. A bouquet gift 'From the eye of heaven…' |

Dellena,
Well written and full of informative things that I did not know. Excellent flow, describing the different meaning of the IRIS (lys). Beautifully done. I wish I had a chance to read this ealier. She sure is a winner! So glad that you posted her.
