Hidden Wisdom

In this sonnet, I delve into the wise words that echoed from my grandmother, who always knew how to see beyond appearances. With her serene voice, she conveyed the importance of living discreetly and guarding one's deepest emotions, especially in the face of envy, a persistent shadow that can dim the brightness of our greatest joys. In this context, "Hidden Wisdom" reflects the value of silence and caution, revealing that, often, it is in stillness that we find true peace and the hidden splendor that truly makes the soul shine.

Sonnet:

In the wise words that time brings,
My grandmother would say with a serene voice,
Travel, but don't tell the story,
For envy is a bold shadow.

Live love without making a fuss,
Keep what you feel in a small soul,
Be happy, but don't expose your sorrow,
For silence keeps the brightness of peace.

Envy, treacherous and furtive,
Undoes the charm, extinguishes the moonlight,
Therefore, be silent, be captive.

For what is beautiful must be hidden,
And in the stillness that life cultivates,
True brilliance will shine.
