I walk through life's garden
An enchanting field
To search for a flower
One that shall yield
A fragrance of temptations
To tease my mind
Petals that captivate my eyes
Such a flower I desire to find
I searched through the plain
Through every meadow and patch
Just as I was about to cease
Stood before me a thatch
Menacing in looks
It appeared like a wall
Conjured from the earth
To repel them all
As I crept closer the thorns revealed
A faint path not trodden for years
I could see the end of the eerie way
Its lustrous light dispelling my fears
Nearing the end I felt the warm wind
A whispering voice
Calm and soothing
I then had a choice
To turn back and abandon the darkening way
Or continue on and reach the end
The wind whispered again
"Are you my friend?"
I followed its call
To a moon lit clearing
The wind called again
"What are you fearing?"
I strode to its center
Where there lay a rose
It's petals pale as snow
A scent my mind only knows
I knelt to admire my newfound treasure
Rooted in the gravel
To be left for dead
I reached out my hand
Will its petals unravel?
