Hidden Behind the Gleam

In the mirror, the face speaks
the gleam that begins to crack
a shadow slowly dives
into the silence of time

We turn away
but chaos still lurks
like a rose in silence
hiding its thorns

Behind the petals
lies a hidden wound
a fractured smile
whispers a secret

The gleam fades
reminding us of impermanence
that beauty and pain
always walk together

Light is not always peaceful
but within it
wisdom is found
and tranquility only blooms
from acceptance

This is such a deeply reflective and poignant poem. The imagery of the gleam cracking and chaos lurking beneath the surface really captures that sense of hidden pain behind appearances. I love the comparison of beauty and pain walking together—it feels so true and powerful. The idea that light isn’t always peaceful, but wisdom and tranquility come from acceptance, is such a beautiful reminder of life's complexities. You've woven these themes together so delicately. Wonderful work!
