Innocence Vs Experience

In a world full of cloudy beauty. I stand up to part the sky.

Hi i'm Zoe

I left myself clues for myself all this time
Of how to return back to my shrine
The Norton go back point of life
In case of emergency and times of strife

I knew I had, I've been wondering around in this jungle in circles
Searching for the trail but only coming to hurdles
I didn't know what I had left behind, only snippets of memories survived
Then finally after years of frantic searching I arrived

Back at the beginning where I had crossed many times before
I stopped and stared and suddenly I was in awe
There were many sticks and stones on the floor
But I looked up at the tree I never saw

Yes at least 8 years of growth, perfect and limber
Totally unlike the other timber
It was mine
All this time

I was fourteen when I dropped this seed
All the nourishment in the shell it would need
I remember the day clearly in my bedroom
Listening to songs hoping I would be saved soon

I gave up hope so many times thinking I had left bread crumbs
Cursing myself for being so dumb
No body told me what life after love would be like
Never made a seed for that, didn't expect the hike

Not all the seeds grew, birds flocked in and took away a few
But in this new awareness i arose and the ground shook too
I feel afraid, holding onto my tree
But I know exactly whats happening to me

Im remembering all those feelings i had
about what the world is like and things that make me happy and sad
Just trying to figure out who the heck I am
and wishing for the right man

In my innocence, I had it right
although it wasnt as easy as flying a kite
much more co-orientation, because in my world, i am everything
The string, kite, wind, rain, sunshine and I have a pair of wings
I look up and see the string in my hands
Smile playfully and hold it like grains of sand
Wrapped round my fingers ready to let go
in case a sudden wind pulls me to and throw

Im making a more beautiful kite with many more colours
A new hue for every new seed I want to grow

In my world we are all one and the same
I don't even mind if you laugh at my silly game
I'll smile with you
Because maybe I haven't a clue
