RE: Hidden Behind the Gleam

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!
