WE GROW UP ---------8.9.2004

Small fingers on small hands
Lift the layers
of the world with such ease
Shivers of unexplored excitement
Are earthquakes
to an old soul.

Faeries glide on gossamer wings
To dance on scraped knees
Wallpaper mermaids
Sooth away nightmares with a story.
Oh how quickly one allows
        Her key to this place to leave her
    Broken heart and all.
I wrote this a few weeks back while I was watching "Peter Pan". Ya'll know what that movie does to me!

Anyway, I could go and tweak some things... but I like the feel of this, even if it does have a slightly akward aire about it. My old bedroom when I was 8 had this fantastic wallpaper in it... the borders had mermaids... and I used to have really bizarre dreams about them whenever I was upset. I'm sure that I could have incorporated them a helluvalot better into this peice, but I'm lazy! :slow:
