For All the World to See
Shall I wonder
if you smile or laugh
Will I cry
if you fail to understand
or find meaning
deeper than my intent
Do I care
if you stumble upon truth
discover riches I did not own
or worry over lines
whether they be art
or entertainment
No, not I
for when the poet fool
pens words to the wise
his heart already knows
'tis but expression
softly beguiling the soul
if you smile or laugh
Will I cry
if you fail to understand
or find meaning
deeper than my intent
Do I care
if you stumble upon truth
discover riches I did not own
or worry over lines
whether they be art
or entertainment
No, not I
for when the poet fool
pens words to the wise
his heart already knows
'tis but expression
softly beguiling the soul
