		Crystal Flowers

	There Dwell is each of us,
	private things that we can never share with
	another living sole.

	They are not deep dark secrets that
	we are ashamed of,  but private dreams
	that are so dear to us that we can 
	not risk exposing them.

	They are like dellicate Crystal Flowers
	that would crumble in a brieze,
	destroying not only the beauty, but
	a life as well.

	It can be painful to shield them
	from the wind, but there is no
	other alternative.
