The pink Lily dances her dance in the light of day
surrounded by friends and family
the clearing she claims serene and beautiful with a soft summer breeze
a silver rose dances with her too
the friends laugh together with something just beneath the surface
as the day draws close and the moon shines in the night
a black hellebore approaches from the forest
he finds The pink Lily and dances his dance
a sad, poisonous thing from the true him
sometimes she dances back to him too
he looks to The Lily for more than a friend
the moon sinks and the sun peeks
so he stills but stays not too far
the silver rose greets his old friend the hellebore with a smile
the rose doesn't understand him but knows him
the hellebore twists and turn in a game of lies he doesn't know and they say goodbyes
the rose greets the lily and the two unearth the thing that they danced around
the two join in a beautiful dance with something in their eyes
once again the moon glows her brightest as the hellebore stirs
he greets the lily and once again dances from the true him
the lily just shakes her head the hellebore wilts and runs to the edge of the clearing
fighting the temptation he stays in the clearing and watches
day after day the rose and the lily twist and turn in a new dance that is only between the two
knowing what had happened the hellebore resigns and decides to nurture them too
one day he might dace his dace with the lily again but not his little secret dance
