About This Poem
In Shadows, Unseen
Passionate hearts and intentions
Linger in shadows, unseen
Hidden from the illumination
Of drama performed by a queen
Like the sweet song of a bluebird
As the storm carries on all around
No one can hear the beautiful voice
Overpowered by the thunderous sound
When the sun sets over the ocean
Where waves are crashing to shore
The beauty’s not seen by those people
Who prefer the waves even more
The calming effect of a candle
Near a blazing fire untamed
Won’t be noticed by many observers
When distracted by raging flames
The subtle scent of real roses
Or a bouquet of lavender plumes
Will always be overpowered
By the smell of a strong perfume
Words which might have been helpful
Or a blessing to someone in need
Are drowned out by superficial sentiments
Destroyed by words which impede
Thoughts which would have deeper meaning
So few now will easily glean
Discouragement leaves hearts silent
And they linger in shadows, unseen
1/1/2013 Dedicated to invisible people everywhere
