A Closer Look

Look a little closer and
you may disclose my inner being
Way beneath the crumpled sheets
is where I keep a heart that beats...
...not to the rythmn of distant drum,
but to a chime all of it's own

Look a little nearer still;
you may unveil my secret will,
to show the awesome beauty of
a soul not marred by hate or love

Looker a little deeper now;
you have unleashed my hidden power
to shut out all who venture near
with songs of praise for me to hear

Just one good look for you to see
the S T A R K N E S S of reality!
