Shall I bring you to the garden

How alluring and enticing it is

There are a inflorescence of beauties

Of pearl-white roses, blooming, shining


It attracts the attention of all

For its purity, it is prized

Petals, how incandescent

May your beauty stay forever


But I don’t recognize the elegance

And its perfection, its ivory surface

I see the Earth, durable oppositely dainty

No grace, no need, it provides life


Maybe dirty, maybe muddy

Yet I can’t help but marvel

Brown and black builds up the Earth

Providing grace to these moonstones


Allow me to reveal my garden to you,

But not for my flowers,

For as you can see, as you will see

The snowy florets are not the star


It must be the dark soil that

Builds up our scenic garden
