of secret guilt...

of secret guilt...

A Poem by Huw
"

Written with 20/20 hindsight.

"

The secret burden of guilt
seemingly insignificant 
yet rearing its accusative head
as occasion arises and causes
you to flee and seek cover
where there is no cover
and run to who knows where.


Long forgotten yet accumulative

and hidden in the deep recesses of the mind

it accuses at night when sleep will not come

there is no peace where there is a burden

of secret guilt...

A brief yet so powerful summation of this human emotion. It's a blessing and burden. It keeps us from repeating actions that caused us and others pain, but it also prevents us from healing and moving forward. And, it often haunts us at night, when silence and darkness join forces to steal our peaceful sleep. Nice work.

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
