Hidden Words
All the days of my life,
you’ve been there making smiles,
gone now, I will mourn
and salute your passing.
All those grim winters
that grew like flowers
inside the despair
you battled in your mind.
All the joy; throwing tears
like confetti on the masses,
your words, I’ll savour the taste
and wait for the post-mortem seconds!
