Unguarded Moments

An unguarded moment

No hint of a smile

The camera it captures

The real you for a while

I know if you see it

You wont be best pleased

But really it has caught you

While you are at ease

The false smile that masks you

Each hour of the day

Has somehow gone missing

As your thoughts go a stray

Your hands clasped together

As if in a prayer

Talking to Angels

Who’ve come for your cares

The frown on your forehead

Like scripture conveys

This surely has been

Just one of those days

The daydream is over

The smile it returns

But somewhere inside you

Your soul it does burn

Burn for a promise

You left in the past

That’s this visit to earth

This time is your last
