Sun on Rose

Above the wood altar
translucent glass illuminates
the dim sanctuary.
Where flower spreads
between wood and window
earth and sky unite
in suppliant petal;
colors press, adhere,
heighten, become color anew –
green and red, white of light,
life and death, and life again.
Sun on rose takes flesh –
perfect execution of beauty.
