Winter of Transparency
September 13, 2014
As the days past,
winter comes near
to where I am and live.
In the winter, I feel transparent;
like you can see my emotions
under my skin.
I feel that you can see through me,
that you can see my shivering bones
and my soul,
despite that I try to hide myself
by wearing a hat,
and in doing so,
trying to close
the curtains of my eyes
to my soul;
but you still see right through me,
like everything who I am
is clear to almost everyone.
Do you see
right through me,
when the season of transparency
is here?
Because I feel,
that is when my soul is seen,
better and vulnerable.

That's very true. :) I remember a quote froma famous writer, that I love and want to share with you. "To truly love at all, is to be vulnerable." ~C.S. Lewis :) So very true. I agree with you. :) Thank you so much, Caramel. :)

I like how you related transparency to Winter. To me I thought of love. Love makes a person vulnerable. Love is pure. and for me there always seems to be this "season" where everyone around me is in love. 5/5 Beautiful -Caramel Kisses
Haha, this is how I sometimes feel . . .
