Jumping the cracks
Language: English
Jumping the cracks Avoiding the lines I want to break free of fear, Not bound by rules Written for others In another time and place. Dare I approach? Can I suggest. We talk and hear each other's tales Of woe, and weather-beaten love? You have so much to teach me Things that I still need to learn. Please let me in, And let me nestle. I have always longed to nestle, Under the gentle shadow of your wing.
