Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Hidden In Plain Sight

Footsteps shuffle hurriedly on by
scents of jasmine drop down
from pearl white flowers
adorning her flowing hair

Paradise engulfs my soul 
recreating memories of old
a time when I mattered
and life was deemed whole

I yearn to go back to that place
filled with a freedom of being
dwelling in favorable light
no longer hidden in plain sight

Darren White November 11, 2016 at 8:53 AM This makes me cry, because I am in reality not free, and long to be.
