for we all have untold stories
of pain and joy
that makes living and loving
unique to us all
might I tell you a secret
and I promise not to be frequent
be gracious in ones judgement of others
for we are all sisters and brothers

bubbles hit her stomach
making her giddy and cheer
until she wakes the next morning
frozen by fear
squeezing her eyes shut
she counts to ten
sick from her gut
she’s woken up in the pits of hell
he gives her a fright
as he puts up a fight
from this moment on her life is forever changed
like everything she previously new
has suddenly been rearranged
but she knows she has the ability
despite all of her fragility
to escape this restraint
and not be lost in its taint
the truth that she holds
has taken years to unfold
for she is done being weak
it takes courage to speak
rising from the darkness
bright rapture springs
she has no more time for the heartless
as she spreads her burning wings

I look up and search the leaden skies
observing all of its fury
shapes of concrete destruction stare down at me
my heart grows sick
my anxious mind prepares for the fumes
that pollute our precious planet
I watch the angry faces and their fast paces
trying to disguise myself
I hurriedly follow
and just for a second
I feel like one of them
but my legs fail beneath me
and I fall deeply into the grains beyond age
until I close my eyes and remember
that I am so far from last November

For a moment
there is a gentle breeze
and my hair tickles my faintly freckled nose
your warm golden eyes reflect back at me
catching mine
the sun strengthens my small imperfect body
I reach to you
absorbing your skin beneath my finger tips
I notice your mole beneath your left ear
and the curve of your soft neck
I am overwhelmed by your gentle presence
for it feels like the earth is still
blowing away my gathering clouds
my noisy thoughts
you take me to a place so unknown to me
home.
