Art is a man’s nature; nature is God’s art.
—Philip James Bailey

I would paint this delicate,
blush-tipped morning rose,
choose hues to hint
at the satin-sheen
edges of curved petals,
but I fear the yellow
will be too bold,
the pink overshadowing —
How can I translate such
rare and nuanced beauty?
