I always admire picking roses
But not without much caution
As many times over
I saw blood on the sand
Dripping down my finger
Shattering my joyful mood
Into shreds of pain
this is a wonderful metaphor Abdi-Noor -- so fine is the line between the lure of beauty and the reality of disillusionment -- and much love and peace to you my dear friend -- Jon Michael
Contrary to general belief I will say that "over every thorn there's a rose"
If we were trying to pick up a thorn and not a rose, we would be very careful where we put our fingers, then, the rose would be a bonus.
