The Concealed, Revealed

From behind the veil, my tears, I dare to peer out while forever longing, wishing to remove all doubt waiting for a time, when the hidden will be revealed when truth will prevail, no longer to remain concealed This self-banishment is my unbroken silence, a journey I take in order to traverse my world within, all else I must forsake finally hoping to arrive, by following a destination foreseen this remains my sole means of escape, fleeing to my dream The hardships we all endure, why to remain mentally impeded life's momentary setbacks, keep us from becoming conceded this life is a prison, like in those dreams, we hide but cannot flee ultimately time will dictate, how many years remain for us "to be" To be" or "not to be" is then no longer a question, but is the answer while for those who choose unwisely, "to be" becomes their cancer how can they turn those unmovable hands, how to retrieve the past to be given one more chance, and maybe to find eternal peace at last Lies multiply advancing with time, caught in the confusion of the storm nevertheless, you refuse to budge, you would rather die than conform knowing what life is really about, you remove the darkness from the light giving selflessly to others what they need most, and you become their sight We can't always recognize the good in all things, but we will soon understand when the concealed is revealed, only then will we recognize the guiding hand along with the setting of the sun, are those dreams for us to ultimately behold tears no longer to be shed, because now you're forever part of a heavenly fold

This intimate and profound poem is full of pessimism and sorrow. The poet is expecting the concealed to be revealed. The sequence of verses has a pyramidal length to point up the increasing anxiety of the poet when examining the problems he is perceiving
