Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Why

WHY


Why? 
Why, oh my soul, you perpetually 
Are yearning to: 
See the unseen 
Hear the unheard 
Feel the unfelt 
Touch the untouchable
Attain the unattainable 
Believe the unbelievable 
Think the unthinkable 
Conceive the inconceivable 
Know the unknowable 
Appreciate the unappreciable 
Express the inexpressible 
When, no heart of Man, ever able will be 
To understand the purity of your language,
Its honesty and grandeur
Unless 
Totally it is submerged
To  
Poetry’s divine depths?
