Where there were no people around
Only the grass, touch me not
And wild flowers
The light above spread
Like watercolors
Yet slowly the fiery colors
Were subdued by black.
Here at the Hill
I poured my heart out
All hurts that lingered
And lurked inside my heart
I cursed
I punched
I kicked
I slandered
I cried.
Here at the Hill
Where the stars are nearer
No one is hurt
The Sky
The Hill
Are the silent witnesses
Of my weakness.
