The secret

I carry a secret; I tell you no lie.
It’s heavy this burden and I don’t know why
it’s been with me always, well, since I was young:
a knowledge that’s wounded and left songs unsung.
Though questions were asked no clear answers would come
but always I hoped that there still would be some

Let flowers of the future bloom
And fill the space of [...]

your tears, your fears,
your goods and bads?
Do I care about your dreams,
your hopes, your mopes,
your plans and schemes?
Do I care about your looks,
your girth, your mirth,
your hooks and crooks?
Simplicity I can admire
though not with envy or desire
but wonder if you can tell me
and open up my eyes to see
the way [...]

Breakthrough

One wakes but one is sleeping Dreams form the waking day The bubble in which each resides Shows signs now of decay
As newborns will we flounder When chimes the waking hour As eyes see for the first time [...]
