I have found
after many years
that I do not need
pretty words
to get my point across.

there are words
that are not pretty
but grating and harsh
they call it truth
but truth,
we know,
is softer,
speaks in tones of
tigers hiding in the
jungle, jumble
of words
define speech,
won't you?

roses are
beautiful
until you
find the thorns
then
that's all you can
focus on.

[elva_barr]

thorns
have roses
too
and thorns
aren't at fault
for being
so sharp
but
at risk
of the roses

but the eye sees
what it wants to
what it's learned to
and it misses the

beauty in
simplicity.
