Within every verse,
many meanings reside
The reader determines
in which couplet you hide
The words both descriptive
with colors aglow
The eyes as important
as what the ears know
When backed in a corner,
don’t ever explain
Words beckon discovery,
refusing one name
The same reader may leave
with a differing view
Each time he goes over
and finds something new
A question once opened
can never be closed
And verse penned inherent
forever to know
With time of no consequence,
your poetry waits
For the next searching pilgrim
—your words to relate
