april 2015 pad challenge day 2: in secret

it seems
like my life's
always lived
in secret

buttoned lips
downward eyes
no expression on my face

it seems
like my world's
always turning
in shadow

storming clouds
shaking ground
no forecast on the horizon

what will it take
to reveal
the spirit again

what can i do
to brighten
the darkened skies

how can i feel
the feelings
that have gone astray

when the whisper
of their memory
has faded away
