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
