The pale sun glitters over tears the clouds have shed
the sunburnt earth still shows faint scars of where her heart had bled
(because she hides)
The clouds stay the same and continue drifting from day to day
and the wind whispers the prayer not heard
it carries each note, hangs on each word
(because she hides)
The mystery stays unbroken
the door is still shut
the world still wonders
because she hides
the sunburnt earth still shows faint scars of where her heart had bled
(because she hides)
The clouds stay the same and continue drifting from day to day
and the wind whispers the prayer not heard
it carries each note, hangs on each word
(because she hides)
The mystery stays unbroken
the door is still shut
the world still wonders
because she hides
Cool poem, the ambiguous "because she hides" refrain layers the poem where you use natures in various incarnations. Interesting. Thanks, Gay
ReplyDeletei like the paranthetical enclosures on the first two (because she hides) and then the third seems to be a release, an unafraid proclamation..."because she hides!"
ReplyDeleteyou have a very insightful understanding of what goes on in the deeper places of who you are. very thought provoking!
