If the moon only
kissed me
I’d understand
But she stands
aloof
Thousands of miles
away.
The closest I come
to her
Is to watch the
waves as they die.
She kisses them,
But not me.
A configuration of lines that appear meaningless and absurd unless one somehow ascend in order to discern their mysterious design; only then can these roads transport. Each is an enigma, and often the inspiration for fantastic explanations. No one can really say who made these lines nor why so much time was invested in their construction, nor why they acquire meaning only when glimpsed from the level of the clouds. Thus is poetry.
