How you hide and stay soft aside

Offer even though forgotten

Dropped - a jewel in the pool

So often anger prevails

Sadness ever sails

Draping it's dim vail over the present

seen for seconds

Before settled deep

layered with waves of doubt and dread

storming circles in head

The sand castle built 

determined to stay high

Resisting the tide

Such irony we keep up the fight

when moving safely back to sea

to forever be

swimming free
