Short Bites

wait a moment
watch the storm
let yourself be taken
up and high and far away

keep your secrets
in your heart
tell nobody 
don't even whisper

catch a snowflake
stumble on leaves
burn in the sun
collect all your memories

please just let it be as it should 
don't try fighting it any more
accept the faults of others and carry on
don't look back, don't show them hurt

standing so tall trees compete
heart so deep, scars visible
just short bites of my feelings
nothing to worry about
