NOW SEEN

NOW SEEN

Descriptive words can tell all
A soul defined by its shape
Discretion is most valued
Yet identity prevails

Designed by both hand and mind
Something important to say
Perhaps in a paler shade
Than may be felt by the heart

Its subtle form is revealed
Hiding behind a curtain
As if moved by gentle breeze
A Chinese quatrain exposed
