hidden hindered haunted star
even when you hide from me I know exactly where
you are
never from me are you ever really far
your favorable light sets the water at my firmly
planted feet softly aglow
while your friend the whispering wind
billows the hem of my skirt to and fro
there is no lead in my heart that can easily be
lifted
my perseverance prevails upon my credited
accomplishments
for that I am thankful to have been gifted
though through the confused confusion of my mind
I have so often drifted
imbalance of spirit forms when what's considered
right and wrong somehow gets shifted
all you'd have to do is merely ask
and I'd remove this gruesomely dreary mask
the scars upon my sullenly stirred soul to you
I would even uncomfortably expose
I would forgive only for you
the wind for the debris in my face
which so carelessly blows
the question with its albatross around my pale
neck in me it steadily grips me and grows
and I see in its eyes what it obviously
already knows
this conflict is the biggest of all possible shows
what better time to come to such an odd conclusion
than at the end of such clever close
ok, well maybe not so clever after all.............
