Every Pretty Thing

pretty things good for my serotonin but large waste of time flowers along the trail leading to the mountain it's too easy to admire your beauty stroke your soft petals nuzzle your delicious fragrance you get all the attention but the looming craggy grey cliff you have to climb find finger holds and toe holds hang precariously onto fierce stone hoist your body up past the point of exhaustion to reach a summit high above the clouds, the rivers, the trees and every pretty thing
