Hidden Facts~

Hidden by bricks

And shingles and stone

A glimpse of Heaven exists

We call it home

***

Beneath flesh and blood and bone

Is a work of priceless art

Where I keep my precious memories

In the gallery of my heart

***

Beneath the woman

And her pensive gaze

Is the girl and the passion

Of yester’s days

***

It flows forever

Mile upon mile

An ethereal river

Of love, in my smile

***

Hidden in whispers

And words unstrung

Are infinite glimmers

Of poems unsung

***

Beneath life’s heartache

Is a higher hand

Holding the reasons

We do not understand

***

Below the struggles and stumbles

Behind the tear in our eyes

Beneath life’s little troubles

Are the moments that make us wise

***

All you could see

as you walked away

Was the distance

keeping us apart

If you had looked twice

you would have noticed

In your hands you held

My heart

***

Hidden beneath our choices

And the action following thence

Is a single, sure-fire guarantee

Simply called consequence

***

Beneath downy pink and blue blankets
and tiny booties and diapers
and purest innocence 
and laughter
and sorrow
is this...
...hope for tomorrow
