The Paper Falls
the paper falls
Bit by bit the paint peels off
Revealing more to me
Piece by piece the paper falls
Underneath the wall must be
Chip by chip the wall's exposed
Though I can't see clearly
Chunk by chunk the plaster cascades
Falling past my knee
Stone by stone the barrier revealed
What a sight I see!
Why would anyone choose to hide
Such natural beauty?
Layer by layer peeled and gone
Now it's plain to see
For she was hiding from herself
Not from you and me.
