Beautiful and vein
On trail seeking own joy
In and and out the garden goes the snake
Meek creatures on path to destroy

Burrowing deep
Nests of twig, paper, vine
Pebbles, stones surround- safe-keeps
Hole open, serpent declines

Dropping down, reaching
The meek channel bravery
Pointing, stakes high
Weapons snap on scales like tile

Loud- caught off-guard
Reptile runs and hides
With time, tiny wounds at large
Pain, the guide

Trees bare, land infertile
Narcissus, beauty his disguise
*Ss*stem replaces tale
Flowers bloom then dies
