In my quiet reflections
Where souls clothed in
shimmering glow are found
While aching beneath the surface
A hidden wound lives within
It keeps them restless in the night
Where silence become their only
bosoms
It hunts their nerves and deepens
beneath their flesh
And paints a distorted appearance
on the outlook
But here they are,
Holding fire in their palm
While the haze consume their silence
"Come off it Man" pretense has nothing
to offer than slow ruin
Hiding withing your own shadow
Only nurture bitterness and rancour
Now, is your time to heal
Let the ree out to a heart made of light
an unburden mind, a soul
like a blooming garden
Where every burden drifts away
Like fumes into thin air
And every tear you've carried fade without a trace.
