As it dictates
In the land long ago
There once was a human
Who gazed on the flowers
So lovingly
That every every petal
Caressed their ankles
That swept through
The bumpy pathway.
But the flowers never
Knew about this person's
Pain that was buried
Within the shadows
Of the heart.
The flowers never
Saw the tears
Or the screams.
All it saw was the
Majestic smile.
