He was crowned. He could not look behind him neither look forward. He kept looking on a side for more or to see where others were at. So he could put more jewels on his hat. If he could only see the monster feeding on its ambitions. If he could only look at me and see the bird showing us a path to paradise. He could realise i have a flower ready to bloom, it only needs the  sunshine of its gaze for it to blossom. xxx-ooo
