I refuse to give this a title.

By Dreaming in Stanzas

I am the rhyme and the reason 
I wonder what dreams may come 
I hear the songs that only angels and poets can hear 
I see the phoenix rising from the ashes to take her place among the legendary 
I want to dance upon the fabled surfaces of the patina of time 
I am the rhyme and the reason 

I pretend to hear the haunting celestial melody of the stars 
I feel the tangibility of inspiration at my fingertips 
I touch heaven one stanza at a time 
I worry that I may never find the substance of the universe 
I cry the oceans that Jesus walked upon 
I am the rhyme and the reason 

I understand the mysteries of the words 
I say the secrets that were never meant to be spoken 
I dream the Purple Mountain's Majesty 
I try to cup the magic of history within my inadequate hands 
I hope that I can read between the lines 
I am the rhyme and the reason

    Every rhyme has its reason and the reader is just another variable in the equation. This was finely crafted and speaks to a higher understanding, so very well done, thanks.

    ...your soul being deep enough to contain all these mysteries, & your mind being able to express them so clearly using the poor tools of language, is almost beyond understanding...your right, no title could do it justice...
