Annie Haslam
"Blessing In Disguise"

Every drop of water
descending like a pearl
lays upon the silken skin
of this perfect girl

The breeze around her body
moved upwards to her face
it held on like a baby
that found its resting place

Voices from the night before
cannot be denied
suddenly revealing
all the pain inside
Entering a well of thoughts
all her fears subside
all the bad things turning to
a blessing in disguise

She was the faintest flower
washed in by the tide
sending silent messages
to the world outside

Her face began to soften
her lips took on a smile
the people who had loved her
came rushing to her side

Voices from the night before
cannot be disguised
suddenly revealing
all the pain inside
Entering a well of thoughts
all her fears subside
all the bad things turning to
a blessing in disguise
