The Depth of Understanding

Poetry and people are not all that different

They both speak words

They represent action

There is so much more to learn

Read between the lines to find meaning

Read between the words to find their piece of mind

Read between the call to arms to find motive

Read between their actions to find heart

Look, in everything that is done

Every breath

Every expression

Every movement

Reveals a little more of the person

Look, in everything that is written

Every word

Every pause

Every symbolic phrase

Reveals more about the author, the purpose

Poems and people are not all that different
