Hidden Beneath

Hidden beneath 
the sacrifice 

Deep
in the abyss of darkness 
deceit  

Sits
a radiance of hope 
glimmering 
breathing 

No words spoke 
but
listen 

Listen.

You Know I Can’t Tell You

You know I can’t tell you
The secret to your success

It’s hidden beneath, inside
Your very own chest

The secrets will hide
The truth not told

Til you accept

All you’ve been given
All you behold.
