Hidden In Plain Sight

An uneasy truce is reached Between the mind and heart In staid silence they entwine But for most part stand apart A rude elbow nudges our ribs Feral residue of our dark past We wish to be free but cannot It seems destiny’s die is cast Dying dusk casts a long shadow Ignoring love’s wafting fragrance Yet humming heart wistfully sings In a burst of playful exuberance This see saw battle continues Unnoticed by near and dear ones Bliss beats rise signalling dawn Luminescence of a thousand suns

Battle between heart and mind is for those high up the ladder. Nations leaders fight the battle while poets just pitter patter.

To be succinct, it’s head-heart conflict, that ends when we’re love inked.

Life is complex and oft mysterious. We live, love and die. Only God's light and truth makes a difference that truly matter. A fav.. God bless. 3SH

Thank you, Robert. When internal shifts occur, there is a definitive change within, a transformation brought about by divine bliss magnetism. We may wish to share but no one can pair, in as comprehend what we wish to convey. That’s why it is said, it’s an open secret hidden in plain sight.
