Hidden

hidden within
a thousand words
is exactly how I feel
simplicity in
such complication
makes everything so real
I have found
the smoothest skin
underneath all the scars
the cuts that I have felt
are not just mine
they are ours
I’ve walked
so many miles
marching in the same place
they have brought
me here and them
I still embrace
this now is the season
of happiness
of the fall of my life
just to stand here
I would again
feel the slice of knife

WOW!!! Oh my gosh, one word came to my mind reading this "contradiction". I felt this poe is sooooo emotionally effective and winds and curves in serpentine between two sides in contradictive thoughts, sweet friend, it indeed can always have the secret meaning hidden in the heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
