Unseen Dangers
Sometimes we get caught up in the beauty and miss the dangerous aspect

Life’s unseen dangers are what I fear.
Virgin bud springs beauty from the ground.
Confess to me what I want to hear.

Veiled masks of temptation loom so near.
Petals silky, thorns circle around,
life’s unseen dangers are what I fear.

Hold me fast, wipe away a lone tear.
The fresh flower’s fragrance makes no sound
Confess to me what I want to hear.

Certain death looms so tragically near.
Wilted petals, broken on the ground.
Life’s unseen danger are what I fear.

Light diminishes, darkness appears.
Danger lives, while our innocence drowns.
Confess to me what I want to hear.

Remnants of a rose, I hold so dear,
a reflection of my soul I've found.
Life’s unseen dangers are what I fear.
Confess to what I want to hear.
