in a glass soul
dreams have all the colors of
the rainbow
on rainy days..
a freckled girl
still unaware,
and unprepared,
steps laughing,
dancing in the air,
a new born sun
into the little glittering ponds
across the road
she plays a game
with no name.
call it life, if you please,
in a glass soul
sometimes the rain
is so heavy
it cannot shelter you
anymore.
you're too heavy
of many dreams
and tears, dark thoughts -
a heart like my own
and it breaks
so I sit and wonder
if it's true I can't hide
anymore
in this glass soul
all my emotions and fears
all my love, my smiles,
my tears - oh, mother,
why have thou given me
a house with glass walls
it won't keep me
away
from all those eyes
that watch me
it won't shelter him
away
from all those words
that hurt him
there's no escape
my glass shape
it will break
innocence' mistake
...
and if it rained
no more
I know
one day
too much sun
would also burn and break
my glass soul ,
this fragile shape
nature's mistake...
