Can't hide The Light

Someone told me
The sun was overrated
For he loves the cover
Of the dark of night
No matter how hideous
He thinks his form
No matter the pain
That causes him to morn
The fear he cast
On passers by
It's out of heart
He chooses to hide
He feels to much
So clings to gloom
Afraid of hurt
If he were to be kind
But the shadows of the night
Can't hide the light
That dwells within
His mind

I don't know that I have ever read you before, Connie, but I'm liking what I read.

Connie, the light of your poem, so beautifully expressed, like the light in his mind (and heart), displays so exquisitely the light in your own heart and soul that can’t be hidden either.

I see that you wrote this in 2002. I hope his life changed since then.
