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 11/16/17 For contest: Constanza Sponsor: Craig Cornish
