a little girl on shaking ground
cracks appearing in the concrete
but you don`t look up at the sound

no one notices unspoken tragedies
and I didn`t speak up
so your distance altered my reality
how fast sadness sneaks up

we grow and everything changes
time-lapse videos of our lives
we learn how to re-arrange it
wonder how we even survived

ever-expanding fields of vision see more
than we thought possible
and suddenly the things we`ve been looking for
aren`t so improbable

earth moving underneath my feet
a young woman on shaking ground
flowers blooming in summer heat
now I see you coming around

they can`t understand our unspoken stories
now I see the echoes
of generations of unrealized glory
fields of hope decomposed

earth settling under our feet
I see you look up at the sound
brand new growth in the cracked concrete
finally finding common ground [comments] => 1 [counter] => 60 [topic] => 23 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems ) Your Poetry Dot Com - New Growth

earth moving underneath my feet
a little girl on shaking ground
cracks appearing in the concrete
but you don`t look up at the sound

no one notices unspoken tragedies
and I didn`t speak up

how fast sadness sneaks up

we grow and everything changes
time-lapse videos of our lives
we learn how to re-arrange it
wonder how we even survived

ever-expanding fields of vision see more

and suddenly the things we`ve been looking for

earth moving underneath my feet
a young woman on shaking ground
flowers blooming in summer heat
now I see you coming around

they can`t understand our unspoken stories
now I see the echoes
of generations of unrealized glory
fields of hope decomposed

earth settling under our feet
I see you look up at the sound
brand new growth in the cracked concrete
finally finding common ground
