One's face presents an outer wall
Shades of dark...and none can see
Hidden eyes betray the cries...
Emotions scatter..in a blink
Love those glasses..
So concealing
Hiding.. that what's hurt inside
Reflecting.. what the outside wants
Why be it so ...t'is hard to show
We bury sorrow under stone
All feel alone...
When once at home
Solitude... grief's heavy shroud
Quilted...patterns passed along
All the world..so familiar
Songs of sadness...weary knitters
Soon enough..
They're passed along..
To you
