After

There is a hill beyond that wall

and theres a girl upon the hill

and though she seems so small

and shes sitting there quite still

She is clinging to a Rock

and holding on so tight

for when a storm comes raging in

It helps her stand her fight

And when the storm is calm 

she sprinkles pebbles where she can 

so more rocks can grow

for those in sinking sand

And shes an open book

who doesnt tell it all

for some pages make her weep

and sometimes make her fall

trapped inside the stories

explanations for her sake

but she tries to move past mountains

tries to step outside the wake

for she has worked so very hard

to not let it tear apart

And prays for sensitivity

with all the scars upon her heart

This took some time

took years in fact

to keep what you consider

an "innocence"

intact

And dont for a moment

pretend she cannot fight

and cannot defend

Shes choosing stronger harder ways

shes choosing calming happy days

Shes choosing to remain soft

come and sit a spell
and let me share
my deepest thoughts and curious bits
of which you might be unaware

a cozy place to drift off to
my present my past and future events
where love prevails and my faith gets me through
and all other of my minds contents

ill ramble on of days gone past
of sun glares and pollen floating by
of breezes so gentle they will tickle your arms
as we watch the sun move through the sky

and as it sets you can share of your dreams
you can whisper some things in my ear
and watch as the moon raises up the stars
and we know we have nothing to fear

and together we sit
in this chair in this place
sharing our lives
and taking up space

something soft would be nice
a place to rest my bones
a little more sleep and less advice
from the glass houses with all the stones

and its funny because
what you think isnt true
and what you say
is not that way
i know what ive been through

and had you asked
i might have shared
instead of reclused
known someone cared

but now the time has past
i myself have grown
but it still does hurt
when you throw a stone

so i take comfort in knowing my judge
and im thankful it isnt you
leaving the past behind me
hoping you will too

not sure exactly what kind of clouds these were.
but it looked as if the ocean waves loomed over head in dark shades of grey...
fitting for the day today

waves of emotions hit close to home
too close

cant wait for the day to end
