The sky above me, closed in as the dark, ominous yet fascinating rainclouds have driven near, gathering together in a council.
As it begins to drizzle, soft, warm and little raindrops, fall in
line, gently, carelessly hitting the earth, moistening it in their line.
Once in a while, as the rain gains its strengh, hitting the ground below with more speed and roughlessness in their action,
Rays of the purest light, sent by the sun as it shines above the darkening sky, a sensation for ones optic nerv, a sensation for the eye,
make it through and let this scene shine further more.
Graceful drops, carrried and distorted by the majestic wind,
Create a lovely melody on my window, as they one by one fly into it.
Now as the soil is fertilised, life will surely grow from the sunlight.
Alike the raindrops are carried by the wind, my mind engages with this scene, lets me fall in love with this beautiful earth.
A little rain shall not be the cause of sadness, as it truly is a reminder of the moments of love wich it makes easier to determine.
So I keep my gaze out of the window and enjoy the weather
Until then, the sky clears up and the sun shines again.

She built herself a Fortress
for her heart's own sake and
purpose

She always thought that she had it together
but it was always a new mask
she was putting on

She would expose the chambers of her heart
and would allow others to
wipe their feet and leave their
mark

They would enter her chambers
damaging her secret places and
leaving her the mess

She built herself a Fortress
to seal her tender emotions
to protect what is hers and
to heal what's been broken

She won't allow herself to shatter again
Her heart is now a fragile muscle that
beats with the rhythm of others
but fails to keep up with her own

There were many silent nights
where she carrried it all and
cried herself to sleep

She gave till she hurt
leaving herself empty
She became a vulnerable and helpless
type of girl

Her fragile heart exposed and
her tender emotions no longer sealed

She built herself a Fortress
because at least in her Fortress
there won't be anyone that will enter
to wipe their feet

— The End —
