Read Between The Lines Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

Read Between The Lines

Rating: 5.0


Every written line in a great poem,
Or in any phrase of a sublime song;
There lies a deeper meaning found inside
That carries the truth about right or wrong.

Yes, everyone is indeed entitled
To express his own thought or opinion;
It really makes him more mature and bright
In giving his self-interpretation.

The scriptural term "ends of the earth"
Teaches the wisdom on time element;
While the biblical "ascending from east"
Reveals the glorious or shining moment.

Even a single solitary word
May say a myriad of lovely pictures;
Just like a lone pen of a great poet
Loaded with million prints and signatures.

Take a look at this amazing knowledge,
"A thousand years" speaks of another day;
And the "little worm" with a low status
Can turn the hard stone into grain or clay.

Behold the "four winds" blowing all around,
Not fresh but scorching in every corner;
They turned out to be the outbreak of war
Occurred in the past the whole world over.

Tempting ideas and the various views
Live right there inside many modern minds;
Muse them not in maze nor in confusion,
Unearth the secret, read between the lines.

Every written line in a great poem, Or in any phrase of a sublime song; There lies a deeper meaning found inside That carries the truth about right or wrong. A magnificent poem, sir Bernard.
