/ Locked tight \
/ upon the earth, \
| a lid sealed firm, |
| to hide the birth of |
| what we seek and fear, |
| all buried deep, too |
| close, too near. |
| Curiosity breaks the seal,|
| whispers rise, dark truths |
| revealed, shadows crawl, |
\ through the crack, /
\ they escape them all. /
| From every grief, to |
| every pain, out they |
| surge like heavy rain. |
| Yet, deep within, there |
| lies a glow, the last |
| of things we may not |
| know. When all seems |
\ lost, so faint, so slight,/
\ Hope, a flicker, a /
\ final light. /
