No strength for love!
You don't want to understand
In shadow, standing, most of the time
Reaching to touch
the lush and beautiful.
Part of life so very full
I unfold myself
like a Rose, most beautiful.
and free of pain and sorrow
there in fullness I stand.
The roots, searching for nourishment
with hunger so vast.
Searching in the earth,
the realm of worms.
Cold is the black earth that
slackens my thirst
In the sun basking in splendor I stand
Great!
Protecting myself with thorn
Protecting myself with scorn
No strength for love!
You don't want to understand
In shadow, standing, most of the time
Reaching to touch
the lush and beautiful.
Part of life so very full
