Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

What Secrets Lie

What secrets lie within our minds
What wealth of knowledge could be found
What kings of wisdom to be crowned

For those who seek and those who find
The spoils of labors to be shared
Perhaps could mend a world ensnared

I see our lives as intertwined
Connected by the thoughts we yield
A common goal, our minds revealed

A fabric yet to be designed
The consequence of intellect
Where hope and peace could intersect

A feast on which we’ve not yet dined
Imagine what the world could be
Imagine what our minds could see

What secrets lie within our minds
For those who seek and those who find
I see our lives as intertwined
A fabric yet to be designed
A feast on which we’ve not yet dined
