` <br /> <br /> <br />Should I tell you the story <br />When this night has given way to light? <br />It will but torment the tormented <br />This story too old to be told. <br /> <br />I tried to write about it <br />But it doesn’t need retelling <br />It demand to be released from within <br />The core of you, of me, of all the living. <br /> <br />Should I tell you the story <br />When the dawn has given way to day? <br />I am not anointed to disclose <br />This story too old to be told. <br /> <br />Don’t fret, listen with your heart; <br />Don’t seek their meaning within or without, <br />Neither are they to be sought nor found; <br />You will listen but not understand. <br /> <br />I can’t tell you that story <br />For the night gave way to a fateful day; <br />You will hear and not understand, <br />That story torments those who know. <br /> <br /> <br />`<br /><br />Frederick Kesner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0-should-i-tell-you-not/
