Elements of your cautious smile
Show a shyness that make take a while
To reach beyond and discover who
Is Sheena and Orcadia too

 

Now I'm just not the pushy type at all
And do not seek to see behind your wall
Yet as I looked upon your face today
There seemed to be a hint as if to say

 

Be gentle for I've seen some pain
And would really rather not again
Which minded me of a convent quip
That you made on page, not by lip

 

So many folk are hardened now
They fail to note a furrowed brow
All that matters may be their purse
A penny lost and they can but curse

 

No value placed on those around
Who cry for help yet make no sound
That could ever reach such a mind
For they do not understand what's kind

 

Pray know ye that my ears are wide
Open and whats held inside
The skull they surround on either side
Is grey it's true but has colours tried

 

From many places and holds those thoughts
That ever came from experiences sought
Plus those I'd rather had not come at all
But if you feel the need just make a call
