LucidSoul

I laughed a little, my heart unseen;
It felt good to be hidden, even from birds now back in the sky.
A return to normalcy, sanitary and clean -
Where the day smiles at life, even without me having to try.
‘You cannot disturb this,’ I told myself.
‘This is peace I have found, without you…in spite of you!’
Peace, like a blanket to cloak oneself.
And peace…a salve for a shattered heart to cling.
No, you will not touch this veil
because I know what happens when you do;
my source of sadness comes to tell -
my heart still carries you.

I dislike explaining things, because I feel it takes away from the experience of art, but many people have asked me where I was - what I was thinking about when I wrote this. Even though I would prefer to lie, the truth is that I wrote this after a certain person touched a part of me that I did not think he had access to any more. I was later reminded by a dear friend, younger yet wiser, that a soul can’t hide forever …I keep thinking about those words, and laugh a little - all over again.
