BETWEEN THE LEAVES

Through the little gaps
between the green trees' leaves,
I can see the Sun's rays, streaming through.
And like a waterfall of hope and an invitation to Heaven,
there's no way that a human heart embeleagured by darkness
can turn away and escape,
from the hope of wanting to be happy and wanting to be loved,
and from wanting to be kissed upon their face-
even if it means that their tears will start streaming, once again.

I.. this isn't exactly the way I'd meant for it to turn out. And in fact, it didn't even turn out to be about what I wanted it to be about. But... *shrug*
This ended up being about Lerana and how much I.. want her to accept me again. Although it was originally supposed to be about Katie and different, and less about hope and more about happiness.
