I wandered lonely through empty paths,
In darkness did I tread,
The wind grown chill I chanced to pass,
A secret flower bed.
A soft dark blossom there did sprout,
And unseen did it grow:
A slender stalk that waved about,
As above it was below.
In dampened breezes did it wave,
With none but me to see.
What made it grow, as from a grave:
It's silent mystery.
No hope it had nor did it know,
That any might savour it's scent,
In isolation did it grow,
It's life a dark content.
And who would care, or ever see
This flower hidden well
That wafted oh so fragrantly
In its darkness and its hell?

Tottespiel's Song for A Dark Flower
It has been my experience that, given the opportunity, people will in the end do what they truly desired to do in the beginning. Save time, let them, then they have only themselves to blame or you to thank.
