Lawrence Hall [email protected] https://hellopoetry.com/lawrence-hall/ poeticdrivel.blogspot.com Every Poem is a Translation Wordsworth considered his rainbow up on high And what he saw and felt through it, he wrote - Translating an arc of refracted light Into a transcendent vision of life But his considerations through paper and ink Are but darkness and silence without readers Because the rainbow needs our vision, our joy Without which there is no rainbow at all We open the book, the page, the words, the light To find the rainbow that he wrote to us
