Digging through memories

transcribed from livejournal, originally posted: 05 September 2006 @ 08:30 am

So I'm digging through some old papers of mine and keep coming across random dribblings. None of them great. I suppose I'll prop them up here just to keep them around.
And here's the first condidate.

Untitled

What exists within each of these shells,
A soul,
A mind,
A person.
Secreted away beneath our skins,
Hidden from prying eyes,
Our souls shine,
Our minds burn,
We glow with an eternal light.
The skin provides the balance for our unfettered souls,
The shadow to eat our light,
The shade to block out the sun,
The blanket to smother the child.
