Obsession Part 2

Roses now are brightly blooming, to your friends now you are calling. I know not of what you speak, I cannot fathom your delight. You say: 'Try to understand my mission, learn to trust in things unseen, I must find what nature seeks and fathom its eternal meaning. Youth will never gather roses, never see beyond the garden.' I will stay for now, trapped in the cold. Though I'll remember nature's wonders, sunsets and the breath of spring, feel the wind blow through my hair and know the thrill of sunrise cresting. We see the universe as dancing, two such different creatures trancing, we two will never understand the private notions of the other, even if we take each other's hand. Coming close to your destruction you will see the other side, who says who has satisfied requirements for a better life? Friendship, if we could but find it, yields the seeds of greater profit, greater than the seeds of strife. I now remain just as I ever was.
