like a flower

"like a flower"

we always take what we see

forgetting there is so much more

to the world

that cannot be seen,

like a seed to a flower,

beauty forever captured inside

to sprout and yet

perhaps it was never meant to be,

we forget the beauties

that exist beyond

the silvery veil

there where all things we remember to find

lay in wait,

but alas

we must always never forget

to question our own minds

and find that which the world

would hide for itself.
