Surfaces That Show

Far beyond the things I see
Past what cannot be attained
Lies to some obscure degree
A feeling wholly unexplained

Hidden under veils of care
Safe behind a wall of grief
Beauty lies quite unaware
To those who live without belief

And if they never think to look
Beyond the surfaces that show
Time will ever close the book
On all that they could ever know

Life will simply come and go
Days will pass without goodbye
And most will sadly never know
The secrets life cannot deny
