Hide and Seek
Aha!..That game of " Hide and Seek "
How we loved as a child.
secret places with sneak and peek. .
how we loved to find.
Stealthy steps on tip-toes,
silent creepy ghosts.
checked behind curtains,
vanished where ,uncertain.
Is he here? Is he there?
Where's he hiding?
That terrifying scare.
The camouflage of whispers,
hidden everywhere.
The ecstasy of giggles. .
grinned a funfair.
In the game of life, we all still play
a solo "hide and seek", each and every day.
I try to hide with all my might,
seekers all just out of sight.
I hide and wait, no one comes to find.
a secret hide-out, hidden in mind.
I wonder, is it difficult to hide ?
or Is it difficult to find?
With hidden feelings, heart is all guile.
real pain conceals a sweet fake smile.
Still enjoying the game? Just think for a while.
