Edward Ibeh Poet Diminished Hexaverse

To Exhume Buried Pain

some folks keep buried 
searing inner pain, 
or lock them within, 
keeping the world out,
but find your way in;

beat a path through 
the undergrowth 
of reluctance;
it's important...

to always
ask questions,
starting with...

"how are...
you"? just...

ask.

Vijay Pandit January 21, 2023 at 5:33 AM Such an endearing poem--to always ask questions, starting with..."how are... you"? just...ask. Doesn't take much to say you care! Edward Ibeh January 21, 2023 at 8:04 AM Thank you very much for the visit, as always, Vijay:-)
