Oh people speak
they don’t know the truth
inside a hidden
state of mind.
~
We might all
look at the moon
walk away
feeling less in tune.
~
Yes we don’t speak
for to reveal ourselves
might risk this our humanity.
~
Lost inside fear
is a one time ability
to express
natural compassion.
~
Instead
we do shelter lives
when personal tragedy
defines loss.
~
Oh we don’t speak
though inside
we imagine the
creaking bend
an old stairwell,
the one that haunted
what once …
~
a beginning.
