Vast

I have no secrets, no hidden meanings

I have no depths, that you couldn't reach

I am a grave man, with optimistic views

As Walt said, "I am large, I contain multitudes"

I bury the vastness of my thoughts

Over a forest's worth of empty pages

I carry the bitterness of loss, and

The pleasure of knowing

I am dark, some days, and blinding

Others

Like the stars, I save my light

For lovers

I shatter my bones, and know

There is still the whole of me

I have no secrets, no hidden meanings

Only those who do not yet know me.
