Analysis of Bay leaf
Like a bay leaf spreading its flavour
Thoughts release their tones
Candidates walk in opposite directions
Leading to the same place
Choices are made
Visions finish
Ways of life are tasted
Liked or despised
Going places that matter
Disposable will yet always mattered
Preaching minds
Knowing mediums
Those lost footsteps
Far from home
Far from warm hearted to self
Yet fully loving lips on others
Feeling like hell
In empty cells in hearts
Difficulties get assessed
Watched
Always
Like the pot
The bay leaf
Soon cooled but rarely eaten
