No Ordinary Peony
When I saw that face
among the flowers
peeking out at me, I smiled.
A moment ago, it was just
an ordinary peony.
How could this be?
I had never seen
a flower that resembled
a human face,
especially
one that whispered,
"I love you."
Suddenly, I realized
that I had been deceived
by the one eyed priest
whose God did not reside
in Nature's Paradise.
And then,
I said aloud
to the face in the floral crowd,
"I love you too,"
and knew
I had communed
with God...

A touch of paint, and some
shaping helped to create
the face in the peony on the right.
