Behind the veil

 


 

The clutch remains wrapped

But the gift is sadly lost to time

The wind of destiny blows away

Our choicest treasures to alms

Despite the grip of clenched fists

The thickest and deepest scratch

Surrenders to a wave on fickle shore

While those we call our little world

 Contrive our downfall from the skies

Await our failures to prove the point

The mother hides the smeared face

And affirms our virtues to the world

Even as we falter in sin , and smiles.
