~Ellen~
Behind the smile, the mask, the glow-- lies a blaring trumpet , a fiery fist, a swirling tornado-- Behind the anger, the storm, the crashing wave-- lies a softness, a golden moonbeam, a silent grave-- Behind the tears, the mist, the wait-- lies a small voice, a small child, a tender fate-- Behind the quiet, the unspoken, the numb-- lies my soft center, my hope, my love--May, 2007
