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
