Sometimes a smile bright but brittle Can hide many an unbidden tear Dauntless courage can echo With a long buried resurfacing fear When everything seems to be going right, Towards the unknown lurches the mind And who knows those hidden depths May echo of memories not so kind Under the veneer of lark like song Lies the echo of pain unseen The brave face shown to the world Looks for a shoulder to lean Those condemned as unfeeling and cold Hide the warmest of all hearts What the world sees as ruthlessly whole Is the sum total of broken parts Those appearing distant and stoic Are the ones who never fail in duty Their prickly and harsh exterior Echoes of sacrificed beauty A loud clarion call proclaims itself The soft echo always smothered Ergo the garish and loud rule With the subtle, the world not bothered So always listen for those hidden echoes Before sitting in judgement, pray refrain Remember clouds called dark tear themselves apart So that the parched earth maybe drenched with rain!
