Old Poetry - 14th November 2006

Out of the darkness came a sound,
faint at first, but soon I found
that all around me whispers swept
of every secret ever kept.

All at once I pricked an ear,
strained to gather something clear
from all the muttered discontent,
intrigue and enlightenment.

Piece by piece I then unravelled
the very path each fact had travelled,
traced it to its very source
through alterations grown or forced.

I hoped that such tenacity
would bestow on me sagacity
and wisdom, but to my dismay,
it did not turn out that way.

As I gradually discerned
the nature of what I had learned,
the realisation came to me
that all it meant was let it be.
