Hidden

Glowing and beautiful on the outside 
Like a freshly snowed mountain 
Picturesque and perfect.

Deep pain anguish and scars perfectly hidden.  It is never shown or exposed, never displayed or broadcast, it is often unknown.

The calmness, the composure, the dignity and the poise that is always present. 
Time and patience will someday release the agony of that latent burden.

The release will be like an extensive explosion but with tranquility and grace.
Then precipitously everything will flow, graciously like a glistening stream.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
