Things don't appear as they are
You think I'm a bore
Not impressed with my outer decor
Is that what you're really looking for?

Don't be surprised at what You'll
Encounter once you get into my layers

Binding thirsts for your touch
Expecting a brush to remove dust
Pages hunger for your eyes
Explore my universe
Make it yours

Take in my words, commas,
Semicolons and full stops
Discern the message behind them

Allow my aromatic essence
to release tears of pain
I want to cleanse you completely
of them

Continue to flip through my
harmonic leaves
They give strength to your
showering soul

Don't stop there
cause there is still more to discover
Experience my entire Soteria
Now do you see?
I'm gorgeous.

note: Soteria is the greek word for Salvation which means health, safety and deliverance. Jesus is Soteria.
