My Surface

There are times I stand in life like a leafless tree... Nothing to cover or shade my self from what you see... Naked and exposed with the sky my only shelter.. Where lifes cruelty touches my faith and I falter... Then like spring coming in my surface solidifies... The branches to my heart are now held safe where love doesn't hide... Now I stand strong with my heart in one hand and a shield in the other... Always up and ready to meet either a storm or a lover....

We can't help but expose who we really are. We write and we show ourselves to each other.
