Read Between the Lines

Every written line in a poem, 
Or in any favorite song; 
There lies a deeper meaning
Of what is right or wrong.

Everyone is indeed entitled
To express his own opinion; 
It makes him more mature
In giving self-interpretation.

The term 'ends of the earth'
Teaches time element; 
'Ascending from the east'
Is all about shining moment.

Yes, even single or one word
May say a myriad of pictures; 
Just like a solitary pen
Loaded with a million signatures.

Take note, a thousand years
May speak of a single day; 
And a little worm's words
Tell its low status in gray.

Behold the wind blowing
Not fresh but hot in every corner; 
It may be the outbreak of war
That happened the world over.

Inviting innermost thoughts 
Live inside the writer's mind; 
Muse them not in maze, 
Read between the lines.
