As the years go by

Hidden from sight from the searching gaze
sun burning bright and the twinkling stars.
Locked away for a thousand nights
that were followed by a thousand days.
A lifetime's journey taken only in dream
as the world is held away beyond arm's reach.
Itchy feet held and shackled fast
with mind's stitching torn at the seam.
The words heard still echo off the wall
and that hard place only few know.
They see the walk, work and moves of grace
And turn away at the tumbling fall.
