Truth - Where Happiness Hides

Truth - Where Happiness Hides

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

Alone, becomes the key to your sanity, yet burns a hole in the palm of your heart.

"


Towering boxes full of days

are hidden

by the lies you hold inside

your feelings.

They whisper louder

with each year that passes

sending your happiness

a reeling.


Alone, becomes the key

to your sanity,

yet burns a hole

in the palm of your heart.

You find yourself angry

at everything,

trapped,

as you linger

while your world

falls apart.


You have fallen asleep

inside the shadow

of loneliness

those towering boxes

provide.

Tip them over with the truth

resting inside you

and wake

where happiness hides.

I hurt with you in anger and pain by lies that whisper and in the refuge of your aloneness that only burns and in your anger your world falls apart. All this is hidden in"towering boxes full days" So with fresh evocative imagery you paint the dilemma. What is the solution? "Tip them over with the truth"we are advised.What is the truth? That is the perennial question.

The circle of the box image in the opening and closing is powerful. The parts (images) cohesively create a whole that make an artistic poem.
Thank you. When I the truth I will let you know!

This has a wonderful message, Neva.. loneliness can be so isolating even in crowds. I love the positive message at the end.. truth does indeed set one free. Lovely job!

Aware of the ebb and flow of life woven splendidly, fluently to where happiness hides.

Ah Neva - I think this is where a lot of people get caught out. Truth, a lot of people have different ways of actually tell the truth. Such a powerful write as always.

This is intriguing, all about how lies, fibs, white lies, or even, huge spectacular deceitful endeavours, can and will eventually catch up with a person, a strong moral tale is told effectively in this poem, very well done!
