Life Undiscovered

He hides from life, inside his sleep

His heart he shields, whilst strangers speak

*

Of torturous days, whilst still he lay

Too proud to scream, he safely dreams

*

A world of warmth, existence eased

Outside too cold, his love deceased

*

The moment when, he once could see

The joy this world, was meant to be

*

And so he weeps, and slowly creeps

Towards the end, the light recedes

*

A loving hand, a furrowed brow

Attentive care, don’t lose hope now

*

Athena speaks, her wisdom wise

This life too dark,

*
