My future waits patiently
unfurling petal by petal,
some torn and bruised.
Those of perfect hue
and scent have few
thorns to prick unwary
fingers. To draw blood
where none need be
spilt. Layers fall softly,
sensuously,the bud finally
revealed, tender, pristine, absolute.
Like a devotional offering,
the heart laid bare.
My gift the key.

Oh, I like the imagery. Layers are complicated

but one always hopes what lies under is worth it.

Like the grit and the layers. It is the layers that do us in eventually, because keeping up with them is impossible and they all come tumbling down eventually.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I think perhaps we have to peel away the layers to reveal the truth hidden beneath?
