The robber crouchesTo lie in wait in the dark,She doesn’t see the lens

The rose bush is free,No buds nor blossoms and bees –No more scrutiny.

Peel back the layersLike dainty flower petals,Not onions – bar tears.

The real personStays hidden beneath years ofHard conditioning

Gratitude’s healing,Or so they say – seeing isA must have for faith.

There’s nothing calmerThan the ocean’s gentle calm –Whither lies the storm.

Beat around the bush,Ne’er quite get to the crux where,Truth hides in plain sight.

Rain water, boot legs –Regardless, she will perish;She must meet her fate.

She’s covered in dirt“Just as well – it fits” they said,Now she awaits death.

Write an ode for her,Place her on a pedestal –Fling her down to earth
