One thought to be a weed heals

To Destroy or To Save

by Liz O'Neill

Roses

Red, Precious

Mesmerizing, Healing, Pricking

Flowers, Gifts

Healing, Challenging, Digging

Yellow, Edible

Dandelions



Weeds

Beautiful, Worthy

Challenging, Misunderstanding, Rescuing

People miss their potential

Dandelions


Rose bouquet in hand

Field of bright dandelions

This too is beauty



The rose is catered to

Primped, primed, pruned

The dandelion is cursed at

Torn up, torn away, torn down

Don't we know

The rose and dandelion are no different

They both heal

The spirit, the mind, the soul, and the body
