Vitae to Lolth with an offering of Hemlock

There is beauty in danger. I have brought an offering this time. What I bring is not of wealth or of valuable resources, for I have neither. I bring an offering of thought and meaning. There is a beauty to danger; beauty in the sharp edge of a knife; beauty in the flames that flicker off a torch; beauty in the traps woven in silk; beauty in the poison of flowers I offer. The hemlock is as beautiful as it is dangerous. It contains a neurotoxin that causes death from a collapse of the lungs. Ingestion of even small amounts of this flower can be fatal. The meaning of flowers run deep in my family. They have brought us hope in trying times, for they remind us of our past. I have crawled up from the bottom, I wither in each step I take. Withering for those who need a hand in the dark. With all this pain, I can only wish that I do not lose my way. I hope these bring you some happiness in these trying times.
