Growth

I grew straight up, defiant and ever succumbing
Until your light shone through the trees

I leaned towards the warmth and found light and colour
Now I have meaning and now I have shape

The pain is a blessing and the past is simply past
I feel always close to falling and am twisted out of place

So let me fall if it is to be, just keep on shinning
I am alive at last and I don't care how long I stand

What a beatifully haunting verse... very emotional, and completely drew me in. I felt a personal connection with this piece and the interwoven sadness and brittle strength that it holds. I just hope the brittleness isn't too fragile.

Very well done. Another wonderful write. :)

Wow i really liked the intense emotion that just surged throughout this piece. The speaker was saved by someone in a beautiful way. My imagination ran free when i read this. So many different possibilities.
