I am flirtatious and I am shy
I wonder if nesting birds grieve
I hear sad songs on the wind
I see fire in your loving eyes
I want to keep that fire kindled
I am flirtatious and I am shy

I pretend to be forever young
I feel a kinship with Peter Pan
I touch fluttering fairy wings
I worry about the earth's well-being
I cry when the children suffer
I am flirtatious and I am shy

I understand that life is too short
I say "live in the moment"
I dream of peace in crayola colours
I try to stay centered and calm
I hope that mankind will be forgiven
I am flirtatious and I am shy

Chris- This is indeed a gorgeous piece of writing. Thank you very much for sharing.

In the wooden chair
Beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
