    the unseen of the seen

    if you walked within the forest
    of my soul, among the cool dampness
    and foliage that lingers along the base
    of aspens, you'd find the setting quite
    tranquil; a delight for your senses.

    but who of us can enter another's soul
    and wander about unlocking secrets? who
    can gather tiny petals that gently
    fall to the path, breathe in the fragrance
    and claim, yes, i now know you?

    you have opened your soul with this piece. very beautifuly writen, nice work

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
