Split Wide Open

Even heart of a hard rock is revealed when split, Secrets are hidden midst atom-fibers well-knit; Thinnest of hair should be split open for research, Wisdom is hidden even within nooks of birch... Hard terrain under earth-surface has precious gold Minerals many the womb of earth does unfold; Digging the mind deep does bring forth numerous thoughts, The depth of heart has innumerable love spots... The world is a treasure; though its surface seems blank, Vast are the marvels whose author we need to thank; Impossibilities give way when split open; Volumes of truths revealed when silence is broken... Suspicions never more hidden; innocence proved; Hidden thoughts and feelings, like pristine sky, well smoothed; Life, like an encyclopedia, truths reveal, Each moment and movement brings perpetual zeal...! 24 June 2022 This or That, Vol 12 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh
