“It’s an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater lustre to our colours, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesn’t destroy us, if it doesn’t burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things.”
―Anne Rice, Queen of the Damned
Rare
by Carmen H Gray
Incongruous and jagged
Are just one way to describe
In this world so rabid
Your exceptionality
The beauty of the detour
From centrality
Every anomaly
Gives birth to curiousity
An unusual novelty
To inspect and understand
A four leaf clover
In a three leaf land
