Poetry

Surfaces That Show

Far beyond the things I seePast what cannot be attainedLies to some obscure degreeA feeling wholly unexplained

Hidden under veils of careSafe behind a wall of griefBeauty lies quite unawareTo those who live without belief

And if they never think to lookBeyond the surfaces that showTime will ever close the bookOn all that they could ever know

Life will simply come and goDays will pass without goodbyeAnd most will sadly never knowThe secrets life cannot deny
