The mists of the sea

I have found the truth
In the dust of an old, unabridged dictionary
Waiting for the pressure of welled tears on the sinus
To diminish
The words cannot make the poem flow
They are hard edged and weary
Prodigal stones
The provenance of power
That hides behind words
Is not in the alignment of the letters
Or in the placement of syllables or stresses
The cast of the line
It is not in simple or complex rhyme
The power of the words
Sparks from the eyes and the mind
The mists of the sea
The end of moonlight on the water

I liked reading this one. It made me lean forward in anticipation, and at the end, come away satisfied that I had experienced a poet's insight into words and their differential nature - that is, not always poetic, but powerful in their own way.
