Sensitive

sorenbarrett

You can't carry nitroglycerin on a public bus, too many bumps and jostles

Fine crystal on a dancing floor is bound to end in pieces to be glass fossils

Such people must travel alone, where ere they go, all their life through

Nursing a rabid dog is not a nurturing thing for even a sensitive person to do

Do not try to kiss an oncoming bullet whether from friend or foe

one that does, in their giving, may hurt themselves, even in a magic show

A pushed rope seldom goes where intended, it rarely goes too far

Always moving, a pendulum travels but goes nowhere, unlike a car

To the moon attracted, by meteors distracted, loosing track of the north star

As time unravels in your travels, how far do you have to go to get to where you are?

Either drawn or shed blood, flows in a past of either drought or flood

Without a storm drain, when you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud
