A rising sun gazes atop the orchid flower of petals five
Shining and luminescent, bringing life from her eyes

If it is indeed so good then shouldn’t we be more inclined to it
Rather than sensing the certainty of internal doubt?
~
If it was so good then why hasn’t everyone subscribed to it

And honestly say they’re not impressed… Read More
