Love Cannot Be Hidden (Novelinee) Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Charles Dickens)

Love cannot be hidden, or set aside
its impact is present on every day,
it’s there like the sky that is blue and wide
and it is radiant like a sunny ray.
Even if kept in total secrecy
life is not the same as it was before,
love changes things from what they used to be
as it goes to the very centre core,
from where its impact is seen more and more.
