You hoped for beauty,Envisioned it even ifThere was none – your bad.

Fairies and flowers,And dainty dandelions,Rained on by brimstones.

Crush them brutally,Like ice in a granita –You dared to have dreams!

Living like this isNot quite what you had in mind –For where is the fun?

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.
