Truth Concealed by Lies

by Hatori   Jun 29, 2007


Like a feather in the wind,
Truth is intertwined with every sin,
Forgotten, remembered, then lost,
Forevermore, there is a cost.

Lies and sins are easy to find,
Because of how quickly they can bind.
They drag your soul into the dark,
And corrupt your mind, leaving a mark.

The mark can never fully heal,
It remains in your past, like a deal.
This wound upon your mind,
Will eventually cause you to go blind.

But when the truth breaks free,
From the web of lies, you can finally see,
That light and dark must work together,
In order to have, a word called "forever".

Without dark, there would be no light,
Without light, dark wouldn't be a sight,
So in order to have life,
We must go through some strife.

To understand, in other words,
A truth among lies, is like beautiful birds.
A dove, so white and bright,
The truth among the crows, as they take flight.

    Miss Ashley,

    I always adore how you conveyed much thoughts and truth in your words. The theme you used, which was "truth concealed by lies," along with the figurative use of light and darkness as well as the attributes of a bird, was rather enchanting.

    "But when a truth [breaks] free,
    From the web of lies, you can finally see,
    That light and dark must work together,
    In order to have, a word called "forever"."

    I really, really liked that passage of the poem. Indeed, such positive and negative items need to be proportional with each other, in order to achieve serenity and balance.

    You write in such an elegant manner whereby I was awfully captivated by the beauty in which you write. A lovely, provocative piece, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing! 5/5 ~Marian
