Hiding in Broad Daylight

The sun must bear the blame.

Its brightness

obscures all it touches.

The truth hides in its light.

Only in darkness will deep truth emerge,

then to scatter as fast as a millipede

chased by a stomping shoe.

 

My conclusion:

What hides behind the bright day

remains equally inaccessible at night.

Is there then no way to catch

the yearnings and the knowings

of the heart?

With soft words? Earnest enticements?

Silence? Thrumming hums

from barely engaged vocal cords?

Forget this search, that's my advice.

It will come or not, the truth,

but in its own time.

Just keep noticing—or you'll miss it.
