Camouflaged

Wearing camouflage
in wall-flower tradition
no longer seeing another
who’ll take the time to peer within. 

Perpetually in autumn’s dress,
near the deep sleep of winters cold,
though nothing close to bitterness
in her tresses could one behold.

With tranquility the foundation 
of each new days new sun rising
True beauty flows unseen
winding gracefully between 
past’s mountains.

As the parting lights of each sunset
blushes the cheeks of a day’s survival
the night begins in loving hope
of a dream that will bring revival

Casting camouflage
aside with dreams of him;
the only one who took the time
to see and peer within.

A mask of incognito. Some of us wear so well. Beautifully,we blend in snow where lonely hearts do dwell. Awaiting spring eternal to melt away the pain. With new born love on wings of doves and freshly fallen rain. You are writing so coherently Debra. So inspiring. Peace. :)

I've been around for years... though I go missing from time to time from the soup. I am on facebook in several poetry groups as well as administrate one of my own with help from two friend poets. I think the first poem of mine you fave'd was called "Caged Silence".... and I also believe you were the first to make one of my poems a favorite.
