Narcissus
Akin to a peacock, prancing gracefully,
With a dazzling allure
That blinded the besotted eyes,
Looking upon them with disdain.
Smitten with his own image,
When the pool cast back his charm,
He pined away, sunken in vanity,
Sprouted the Narcissus flower
From his self-consumed, seedless soul.

Sprouted the Narcissus flower
From his self-consumed, seedless soul.

i heard this story in today's lecture, and it instantly sparked the idea for a little something for the "Seedless Soul" Competition.
