It’s just a piece of paper.
But I notice that your walls have all fallen —
I see through the pain of a faded smile,
through lips that rest in wait of breath;
a tool to deliver messages
of soft-spoken compassion.

I don’t exist in that moment —
It’s just a piece of paper.
But the light from your brilliant eyes
still emanates from the source
and draws attention to the core;
You can’t hide your beauty

Even through a piece of paper
silent lips and silent eyes…
I see beneath the pain
to a world of beauty full of life.
Don’t you see?
don’t you see…
