Hide & Seek

Some days, I just want to hide myself.

Because I wish that you might seek me.

Perhaps it is a child's game,

but

aren't we all just little children deep inside?

Appareled in sensible aloofness

and at the same time,

Exuding an inexorable charm; 

you make it seem so easy

to want to run away from it all

Just so that 

I can seek you when you hide away

in all the tumult of the world.

Like the delightful gradation of a well-timed

acciaccatura,

the hiding and seeking entails a well-defined

patience.

But when found, the grace-note brings about a

pleasant dissonance.

Even if 

it lasts for a brief instant,

I know, and you know, because we see

a knowing 

smile.

Do you want to play?

Let's

Hide & Seek.
