All Of These (Sep 11th,2003) Poem by Nicholas McDonough

Knowledge hidden within rhyme
frozen in this space and time
dormant, sleeping right between
the eyes, so that no one sees
the things that remain unseen,
unheard, unsaid, all of these.

Those who seek knowledge beware
if you look for it everywhere
they all think that with them dwell
lies or truth, it's hard to tell
if you don't go insane,
within your reach to attain.

A little hint, close your eye
with which you see, then ask why
you never thought to ask, you never really knew
the knowledge is already there in you.

Knowledge hidden within,
in time ever frozen.
Sleeping dormant, waiting
to be heard, said, and seen.

Close the eye
Now find why,
how, when, where
but beware.

Hard to tell
lies from truth,
can now well
like in my youth.

Hidden...
within...
frozen, ...
waiting, ...
sleeping...
unseen...
