  HIDE & SEEK


Beyond the closed door -
lies the vast blue sky.
Beyond the shut window-
is the green pastures.
Beyond the stretching roads-
there is a perfect abode.

In the night sky-
blinking phosphorescent stars.
In the dark alley-
fluctuating neon lights.
In the time of misery-
ought to be a bright smile.

Hidden by the wrap-
an invaluable gift.
Hidden by the cocoon-
the beautiful butterfly.
Hidden by silence-
so many precious words.

A numb sole-
so misunderstood.
A lost thought
pleading to be heard.
A wretched soul
  there is life beyond.

This is a superb analogy..amazing.
it is quite true that there is something underneath waiting to be discovered.

It is an amazing way of saying don't give up when you see an obstacle, as something awesome is waiting beyond that. People who still continue towards the closed door or the shut window and open that - experience the blue sky/green pastures.

Something is always waiting to be discovered, be it a wrapped gift or a beautiful butterfly. You have to look beyond the ordinary and have the patience so that when beauty unfolds, you can appreciate it.
