Analysis of A shepherd of beauty
For every withered rose,
trampled beneath the concrete & gravel of our ways,
there stood a shepherd of beauty,
to gently remind us of the wonder & joyous color,
that once freely leapt from its radiant tips,
it is so that our very own remedies slowly weaken with time,
& in our hour of apathy,
we are beckoned into our mother's sobering embrace,
& in such a embrace,
We are liberated from the angered clutches of our demons,
even if only for a mere moments time.
