the smedley log - suburban scrawl

truth & beauty

some things stay hidden,
if only to those lacking
the patience to see.

some things require
training of the eyes to see
and a bit of faith

while more apparent
charms often wear thin before
you even realize

charms worn ‘round the neck
may attract, but not as well
as an inner glow

like most shiny things,
the veneer diminishes
as you draw closer.

if one wears the sun
universal attraction
comes with a stiff price
