Goddess Knows Thyself

in a declined, neglected and wayward garden
the weeds amalgamate, conspire and confer
to tell the rarest of flowers providential in their midst --

...emitting an inner light of never before seen beauty:
its shine unknown, untouched, unclaimed and unsoiled

blooming in rare knowledge of self, the cosmos,
its light and purpose, for a change, revolution or transformation -

"to not be 'so'"; "to not be 'too'

twisted thinking predicated on if the flower's glory is squashed or diminished
perhaps their existence may be less pathetic

and self esteem protected

in a garden overrun
not necessarily by betters
