Chapter 79 - Petals from Midnight

Full moon tonight,

God blesses me alight, 

After mother had flown

and I blocked her sickened cells,

I had regrown my petals.

.

Once so strong,

mother wished them away,

envious that she couldn't carry my mane.

.

I detested how my silky strands were left at bay,

wavy and beachy --- never astray ---

.

Mother hated my precious hair

she used her words,

and sent me a curse ---

.

My hair had blown away,

fallen, brittle, thin, and hate. 

.

My petals regrow,

beautiful like a raven's silky robe ---

bright like the sun's glare,

and the moon's majestic air.

.

Mother's petals are all gone,

so she tried stealing some --

her former stress need not linger,

Here my hair is, stronger than ever!

.

Watch my petals grow like flower buds

that dishevel and mend,

like a field of roses that grow heads. 

Midnight petals,

we only have the holy name to thank,

because he granted us our mane,

our brand name:

.

beachy waves that mother cannot create,

midnight petals are where my love hastes. 

.

Watch the hair grow,

silk and more! 

Thank you God,

you heard my prayer,

that I escape Borderline Seed

and her decaying tree;

.

Now my leaves drape the sky,

where my petals heal from the fight --

my hair is beautiful, tonight.
