Give Me Shelter From the Pain

In early years of shallow tears proned to ashes

Swift glances harbor chances
As in a sea drifting out on some raft
Shattered glass in swift desolation
A vile degrade of hesitation

Give me shelter from the pain,

In moments of sadness lest I refrain...
The greatness of tragedy & sorrowful intent
The pull in fragmentation & expense
Gone our the days to frolic in the haze

Give me shelter from the pain;

Through a barren tree to strain.
Sending exploits & fragrant
Shattered glass once again
Perhaps its best to hold our breath & count to the number ten?
