in the early morning dew
the diamonds of moisture
weighs heavy on wings
to unfurl in a hurry,
a danger to itself
to feel that fear
from deep within
treat my heart tender
in this moment of pain
unsure reigns over me
my soul cries out
my eyes search beyond
the horizon of this life I'm in
easily bruised
too tender to say
of the things that trouble
this inner being so
gentle touch, softly speak
for this curled up bundle
afraid to seek
be patient with me
just love me this way
in the heat of the day
to release this great pain
my hands will again
reach out for you
and warm this body through
