Enigma
Hidden in
the misty shadows of our souls
our secrets lie.
They remain buried,
resisting any prodding or digging.
We keep them there
for fear of being judged
inadequate.
We carefully guard them
even from those who love us.
How odd then
that each one of us
has these secrets,
these flaws
which we are afraid
to let anyone see.

478. Untitled - June 14, 2002
Peeling away the layers
of our soul,
gradually forcing the reality
upon our senses -
the realization that life
is beyond the present;
stretching into the metaphysics
of things that we cannot understand.
Like a million shades of colour,
that created a vivid landscape;
every moment reveals another aspect
of our lives lived -
one more facet of the soul.
Like the diamond held
infinitely precious;
every turn in the sun
casts both shadow and light
upon the secret corners
of our life.
