Poignant

Poignant

Poignant is not a word
but theater every day.
It's the sweetest act most hidden
from the one who wrote the play.

Packaged in small to medium
it often goes unseen; never 
tedium to the driven
who would rather climb than dream.

In speeches, books and interviews
of noted women and men,
Poignant never comes to mind 
until they reach the end.
