"Lines Marked on Lily's Heart"

Obed Sarpong

There are few people who observe
That which is hidden far within
Away from eyes that genuinely care
To conceal the scar that so often stares.

Each time your eyes silently speak
In those nights, in those tumultuous moments
I beckon back albeit coded
Saying: Do not let your placid spirit shrink.

big poem

Nice piece. Short and simple upon first reading; but, it's obvious there is some underlying meaning far within reach. The last line strike me most.
