Hidden Beauty

The beauty of a thorn is often 

overlooked by the rose. 

Its prickly fingers make poor 

company in the land of pleasant 

looks. 

Yet while the rose blooms, and exposes 

its naked beauty to the world 

The thorn covers itself with virgin robes, 

and not even the tulip or the lily can undo 

its fibres. 

And the beauty of the moon is overpowered 

by the sun 

For how can the moon compete with the 

wonder of dreams? 

And man is forced to live by the light of 

its opponent. 

He gave the moon the stars, as company 

for its sorrow, 

But even with their infinate patterns and 

designs, they too share the moons envy 

of the sun. 

How sad it is, for an artist to never have his 

masterpiece adored by the common mob. 

We see these hidden beauties, every morning,  

noon and night. 

Like the shadow that quietly follows our path, 

silently preventing us from falling astray. 

They often go unseen, but their grace and beauty 

will always be there for those who deserve. 

The thorn, the moon, and the stars, fade like 

a whisper in natures history. 

Shadowed by the dictator of natures divine 

ruler.
