A tragedy

To hold a mind that knows the storm

Yet a heart that still dances in the rain

It is to walk through fire with calm eyes

Yet weep at the sight of a wilting rose

Poetry written by fate's trembling hands

Here wisdom tames desire,

But never kills the dream

An aching soul in the warmth of such a divine sorrow


The author's comments:

This piece is about the adult who was never fully allowed to be a child. Spiralling in the chaos of this world of the outside, he never takes off his facade of calm. Only he himself is aware of the war inside.
