Unrevealing Poem by Sarah Persson

Unrevealing

Rating: 4.9


So much to say,
But no words to speak,
So much to see,
But eyes that can't seek.
So much to hear,
But ears that are closed,
Feelings are open,
Yet nothing's exposed.

Cry without tears,
But no heart to feel,
Express without senses,
No emotions to reveal.
Walk without footsteps,
No legs to take stride,
A mind to think clearly,
Yet so much to hide.

Young with an old mind,
Strong and yet frail,
Breathe deep unrelenting,
And slowly exhale.

Unrevealing, yet so much revealed in the last stanza. Most intelligently created these feelings of depression and released our deepest inside finally, at last the world would know. Spiritual journey that sets our soul free. Amazingly worded. I so admire thy words. A 10 and more vote, Most precious utterance, Sarah.
