Nobody sees the glass heart
That was shattered long ago
I know I didn’t
For in youth is where these scars were sewn
It happened rapidly, the rapids of a canyon
I used to challenge you bitterly
Yet now I am understanding
For you are a caterpillar
Frozen in the annals of time
You entered a cocoon one day
And were locked inside your mind
Because how can a beautiful creature spread it’s wings
If it was told it would never be able to fly
And so you stayed locked in the maze
Unaware of your natural design
It seems it was he, the very man sworn to protect
You as his blood, you as his most loyal subject
For he was a king in your eyes, but a cruel tyrant unconscious of his own lies
And so he cast out his queen, and then his two heirs
I watched from above and wondered how could he dare
To recklessly destroy paradise in the blink of an eye
So I joined you in this world, so that together we could fly
Yet I forgot what I witnessed upon entering this Earth
You too hid behind scar tissue, so I knew not how deeply you hurt
So as the years passed and I too entered a cocoon
I began to forget that I could fly too
So we replicated a pain rather than share a story
Unable to communicate that which within our soul lay
For there was a truth that both of us relayed
It was one of remembering that love always guides us to victory
So we parted in uncertainty and misunderstanding
To begin a journey that would reconnect us to healing and understanding
And as I broke free at last from a shell in which long ago I began to hide,
I looked to my left and right, noticed my wings and took flight
The beauty of the sky and the freedom of the wind
It was here I remembered why I returned to Earth to begin with
Full of questions and answers, today I let out a sigh
For I was incapable of helping you understand,
That only together we can take the leap of faith
And once more return to the sky
Wondering and wandering, where you had been
For I had been thoughtless and angry,
I denounced so many friendships and lovers
Due to the fact that I could not fill my own skin
Yet these chapters had come to a close
A new one was yet to begin
Hoping that you too would understand
That the pain of another does not reflect within
For it was here at long last within the mountains and clouds
I looked to the grassy ground and bellowed aloud
For I saw you, wide eyed and full of happiness and tranquility
You were perched in a nest, your wings were spread and you too, were free
I believe you saw me too, out of the corner of your eye
For it was then a wink and smile greeted me,
Joy and peace entered my heart
And I simply continued to fly
For we are the greatest of allies in this world
This is something that we must realize
For our bond is greater and stronger than the chains
That bound Atlas to hold up the sky
Poetry has always been a huge love of mine. I believe it’s time to start sharing my works once more. I pray that you find peace within these words, as I did by writing them.
Sending you Light through Love,
Brandon
