I have an oil painting series of North American perennial flowers.
In my head I've painted each one; lupine; day lily; geranium; tiger lilies; echinacea; black eyed susan; butterfly weed; daisy; sunflower; coreopsis; gaillardias; iris; tulip; aster; queen of the prairie
with each stroke I teach myself,
reminding
of the perfection of each witness.
A hyacinth cannot sin
It just is,
and she is my delight.
I can
And by grace I rest,
yearning to believe I am
just the flower of His desire
irrevocably perfect,
delighted in.
