A Penny For Your Thoughts

A penny..
for your thoughts..
is all I have..
to give in return..

For..
my thoughts..
have crashed
and burned..
full of holes..
with ashes 
unturned..

I yearn only
to absorb..
to stand 
on the shoulders
of others..
to be invited
into their labyrinth
of secrets..
passages..
to uncover..

A penny..
for your thoughts..

For..
my thoughts
have crashed
and burned..
full of holes..
with ashes 
unturned..
