The Hidden Heart

July 3, 2013

How did you see me?

Was it the color upon me?

There is nothing different about this faceless creature

So now I ask

Why do you see me?

Eyes of silver, full of wonder

Mind so sharp it’s piercing

Gold gold heart

and kindness under

The space that keeps us apart

Now I ask just one last time

What drew your eyes to me?

Was it the mask that hides it all

Or the heart that you can’t see?

Something wrong with this poem?
