If You Only Looked Closely
Searching;
Something lies hidden in the depths of the mind.
Like a swift flap of a butterfly’s wings,
sensible.
It’s there,
surrounded by dark shadows of a past,
remembered.
Life has left this man forever,
never to return the light to his eyes,
fill up his hardened skin with life,
make his old heart beat.
It’s all gone;
And so the box remains closed.
