THE POEM MEANS MORE THAN IT SAYS <br /> <br />The poem means more than it says. <br />It hears within itself the sense of what a page can’t know- <br />It finds in the eyes of those who approach it- melodies <br />Whose music relates to other poems <br />Read years ago – <br /> <br />The poem means more than it says <br />Because in us <br />What Poetry is- speaks wisely <br />Through every dream our hands can’t reach <br />Through every sound our mind cannot fathom <br />Through worlds elsewhere <br />That know more than us <br />And layer us deeper and deeper <br />In troublesome sounds unheard.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-means-more-than-it-says/
