Read Between the Lines

Your thoughts are deep,
like Voltaire or Nietzsche

And you pen them
your insight, feelings, love, pain

But there is more to you
I read between the lines

Discover the thoughts and the process
look into the lines, the intricacy

Unravel the spirit and the soul
remove the veil so others can see

Let your heart be unbound
let it soar and love

I hope you find what you seek
what you write about, yearn for

Then write about that too
inspire others like you inspire me

I think the greatest satisfaction comes when someone gets it ... smile ... whatever "it" is at the time ... LOL ... you've written a very wonderful write here, J.B. and it is a well-deserved selection to be a feature this week at PoetrySoup. Congratulations!
