Don’t lose the fire in your soul
Sweet, shy boy
Don’t lose perspective or control
Don’t destroy
The beauty of your vision here
The crystallising of your years
Don’t dwell in darkness
Nor in fear
Shy boy
Don’t lose the beauty of your mind
Quick, clever boy
And all the elements you find
Please employ
Your artistry could be your cure
To make from debris something pure
Don’t make your games
To just endure
Clever boy

This is so loving. I think of someone specifically when reading this. Did you write this for someone specifically and share it with him?
I did write it about someone, but someone long in my past, so not shared sadly enough. 🙂 🙂
