Hidden in poetry are meanings we don't understand
feelings explained
embroidered on the everyday shirt of life
each individual song its special message
sewn with a delicacy of stitch in silver or gold
iron or steel wire
stitched into our minds with invisible threads
joining the synapses of emotion and imagination
taking us on a journey through past present
future and no place in time yet studied
stretching its long fabrics
far into the horizons of our perception
forming shapes and patterns
that have the same magic as music
inexplainable joys and sorrows
that burden our senses with sadness and sheer ecstasy
