The Hidden Wound

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.
