rudely shorn
of every device but her thorn.

Insufficient knowledge for fully comprehensive consciousness

of our individual and collective participation
in comprehensive disease, weakness, loss, decay,

My (bleeding) heart is filled to overflowing, 
To see any growing glad(iolus), garden glowing;
Each sun peached, (petunia) petaled delight,
Is frozen in precious moments of pure delight,
From bursting buds, to the spicy boom of blooms,
Nature is...

And while I tried awfully hard, my efforts always had sorry outcomes.
