Poison

Puffy white clouds
Sweet with blinding perfection
Float among the blue
Just like your
Puffy blond hair
Curls of gold
And late evening sun
Golden-brown with
Graceful blanketing rays
Tracing the orderly lines
Of the tall pines
Down to their roots
Spread across the damp soil
Rich with nutrients
Little green plants
Sprouting with hope
But beneath the beauty
Is darkness
Worms crawling in the dirt
Itchy mysteries below the surface
Everything has a flip side
Everything is poison
But there is a balance
The question is
What is worth its dark side?
