Michael F Lewis Poet Free verse

Empty Halls

I hear the voices I will never know,
But then again I might if I would try,
But finding out the source of mystery,
Would put an end to ire and my journey
Would put an end to poetry and why?

I see the forms and recognize their shape, 
To name them, even one, would change them all,
To study their science would leave a ghost,
A sin to light and leave an empty host,
A sin to light the lights in empty halls.

Enjoyed reading Cheers Michael F Lewis October 22, 2012 at 12:31 AM Thank you Christopher! This poem was written in the spirit of rejecting the Learned Astronomer like my friend Walt.
