King Protea
The king protea opens like corona of a star
Only thing inside that’s missing is eye that sees far
But even now it looks bizarre
As mysterious as black hole in center of quasar
Or supernova as it explodes that is what inside of it seems to inspire
Only in case of that flower outside of supernova there is also ring of fire
Its beauty is something to admire
The external rings are like the very soul set on fire
Only one thing this flame can stop not water or sand
Something that broken heart can mend and fire withstand
Something that is hard to comprehend
Like having transcendent force of true final judgment in my hand
