The ocean, the sky, the shore
Like a visual riddle, a rebus,
Suggest a word.
But this picture, meant for the amusement of children,
Confounds.
These visual riddles are seen
And in their seen-ness
They are one
With the unseen
That is wordless.
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.
