Thorn Harvest






nasty types
who sow wheat
will reap thorns
feigning
thorns are soft stems of lilies
all goodness and purity
never being able to explain
the scratch marks
that cross hatch
most of their skin

  6. We do eventually reap what we sow. But sometimes that someone who is sowing is reaping something that looks so good on the outside...it's tempting.
