Cryptic Gem

Cryptic language with words that hide;
Secret message in ancient tides;
Mine the passage in mystic ride.


Linger a while on textures tough;
Thought waves that style beyond the rough;
An inner guile with pregnant stuff.


Heart within mind in pulse and urge;
Address ***** finds in sag and surge;
Go beyond kind in swirl and purge.


To find the core where meaning fills,
Discern some more the vital till;
Let knowing soar in precise will.


Address the space where time holds gist;
Accept the pace of rhymes that list;
Align the trace in hidden mist.


Knowing within the sacred code,
Beyond mere whim a wondrous mode;
Here yet unseen a pathway node.


Feeling the way within these grounds,
A tensile stay that firms around;
Pry cryptic sway with motive found.


Peel layers here that hold meaning;
Read beyond fear the deeper fling;
Ponder sense clear as answers sing.


Deep within see the hidden span:
Veiled legacy in sure attend;
Code that sets free an ancient blend.


Trace clues that spur your quest to know;
Go beyond blur to sublime show;
Let swirls unfurl the course of flow.


Thought hides cryptic in symbols deep;
Know dear mystic realms that now sleep;
Feel the magic as foliage creep.
