...and the mask ripped off her face
And there she lay
Bare and uglyYour true self, he said...
With broken wings
That survived the rough weather
And her deamons
She dragged her frail self
Towards the thin branch
Hop she couldn't
Yet she tried
Everyone fell for her when she flew high,
And yet, they all abandoned when she could no more.
And then, came he
Who saw not the unflattering wings,
But her spirit
That still had some spunk
Fly she might never ever
Yet, he let her onto his finger
And took her home.
Creepers and vines she has
Now to climb on to,
That he grew all over
For her to feel alive.
I take thee with what you have,
And also what you don't,
Said he to her
As she chirped again.
Count not the pebbles that lie on the sandy beach,
Feel the water that caresses the feet instead.
Worry not for it didn't bloom,
The tiny leaves just came to being after you watered them last night.
Fret not that the drizzle didn't pour down as rain,
Smell the wet earth that now buzzes with life and hope.
