The Window Lies
The window lies
Shields us from the truth
Of Winter’s biting sting
The poet lies
Within the mystery
Of a metaphor
The anger lies
Encased
Within a cause
The stoic lies
Within the secrets
Of his pain
The hero lies
Beneath the blanket
Of his fear
The prophet lies
In an ever changing
Future
The truth lies
Lest it betray
Its past
The window lies
Not knowing
What is true
