your hidden light - MONORHYME
In the quiet of the crowd, you caught my eye,
a delicate silhouette against the night sky.
Your amber gaze was weary, deep, and dry,
bearing heavy truths you'd always deny.
Your paper skin was creased; folded pages where shadows lie.
I felt a sudden grief, and began to cry,
to see your hidden pain, no words could buy.
You offered up a smile, gentle and shy,
and it changed the landscape like a sunrise nigh -
lifting up the dark, without a sigh.
For brokenness is not the end, say I -
with the deepest grief, the gold will lie.
