To each person who interprets written work

It becomes a chore at times to follow the perk

Which is offered sometimes without any challenge

But - at other times - there is much to manage



Sometimes, I see simplistic and direct verse

Which makes plain, straight-forward points, terse

At others, images are so complex, and all-involved

One wonders if they can ever be of value, or sold



For they conjure up multiple images which layer

Up idealistic phrases which do mix in with prayer

And hope and great wishes filled with suggestion

That the reader do consider and then make mention



There is appropriateness to some of these thoughts

That can wind up establishing things which ought

Be considered in future connections of like minds

Who see, understand, and are not in any way blind.
