The Measure

How do you measure What can't be seen The heart of a man The in of between The conscience that follows When something's done wrong How do you measure The depth of a poem How do you measure The day you must face If it's taken for granted If it's given in grace Or measure a seed That has yet to show growth How do you measure What you do not know How do you measure The hour before late The width of a shoulder Where a tear is laid The inkling of an idea The moment it's made How do you measure Love before it's given away How do you measure The chill of the wind The guilt of the pleasure That comes from within The sliver of light Before the sun has it's say How do you measure The end of the day
