~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Veiled by clever branches, limbs silken strands, protecting me from the eyes who’re like pseudonyms beckoning with iris’ clever and wild secreted beneath gossamers, flowing in whispers of hope for the morn risking each breathless moment, unknowing what to expect with the journey’s quest shrouded by the strands, elusive like the moment when I knew true pain beyond the shadows, so abusive feeling the fears who reach my soul concealed from a world who hurries never allowing my heart to heal these wisps of melancholic flurries remember locks who write the songs unseen by those who might discourage me each curl, each tress, each quiet tuft silences the fears who seem to guarantee expressing myself means letting go hidden by the mane who drifts, curving sinuous and graceful, a layer of shelter always protecting and preserving so I have refuge, a haven, a secure home unseen, my eyes hide beneath the maze a mane of defense, shielding me from foes those who might not understand my gaze only see the pain and never what I gain
