Though you can see me

at times you won’t

You create me to complete

the self that you are afraid to be

Beautiful

Simply vulnerably beautiful are the

traits you

give me

As my protection extends outside and

atop my head

In another form

if I lie, I die

For my nose never grows

so the story goes

I am the protector of the sea below

What protects us is the will

 to believe in us

When it stops

 there goes the glow

When caught in a snare

 done without care

Vulnerably beautiful are we

In a land where one is free

If we tell ourselves

  to let it be
