Hiding

A child hides in purple tinted sweetness; 
Outside a storm is brewing. 
Leaves and petals try to shield from dark rains; 
Yet, still, the cold, wet touches. 
Shivering in misery, she stays still; 
Hoping not to be noticed. 

She still shivers there within me, herself; 
Waiting for the storm to end. 
Reaching for the sunbeams and the flowers; 
Arms raised for me to save her. 
God weeps for us both, this child and myself; 
For only I can reach her.
