Tread Softly
*Inspired by the famous line of William Butler Yeats
"Tread softly because you tread on my dreams"
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams*
Tread slowly because on your shoulders I lean,
Tread lightly on those weightless moments,
because they carry my heavy heart.
Tread carefully on those soft rosebush,
they hide your thistles unseen.
With every nuance of your love,
I have created my paradise
With every dandelion you scattered,
I have created my lavender fields.
With every color you splattered,
I have created my porcelain sky.
With every dream you shattered,
I have learned to caress my scars.
Tread your steps softly dear,
don't leave footprints on my heartway.
Tomorrow never comes, its forever yesterday.
