deep inside the grotto

deep inside the grotto

the poet is destined to write of sorrow

forgotten will be yesterday’s tragic morrow

the stars shine bright

but only in the darkness of the night

the mind is free of tragic illusions

yet surrounded by the madness of life’s delusions


the painter is blessed many times more

the canvas absolved by the tragedy of war

the pallet free to choose any colour hue

blessed is the weave adorned in lapis blue

the painter can masque the sorrow

for the cipher is buried deep inside the grotto


thank you,

joseph pede
