Below The Surface

Beneath the skin, red tissue and bone

Far below the surface to the great unknown

In the deepest recesses where it’s peaceful and dark

There exists a an entity glowing like a spark

This is the place where emotions dance

And simmering thoughts ignite romance

Where tenderness lives and love grows sweet

Where generosity and nurturing gestures meet

Warm and inviting people held dear

Always have a home and nothing to fear

It’s where pain goes to rest and heal

Where patience lives and weary finds zeal

If you look closely and pay attention

You’ll see things that no one will mention

For there are times when what is below

Will pierce the surface with its insurmountable glow
