The Things We See

are not the things that happen...

By T. LichtPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

The things we see

Are not the things that happen

Within every living breath

Lies a thousand words of history

And every falling tear

A thousand years of reason

Between every chasm of pain

Lies a petal to be born

Between every cleft of rain

Lies rainbow to be shown

During every suffering moment

Lies a thousand ways to strength

And after every twinge of grief

A thousand grips to growth
