I took out a book from a poet I know.

A book composed of great thoughts.

A book produced with admiration and desire.

You may ask why this book.

Why tonight.

I took out a book from a poet I know.

A book to search for answers.

A book containing the truth.

This book of life.

But why tonight.

I took out a book from a poet I know.

A book to find her truth.

A book with her secret code.

This book with the answers to this code.

Why tonight.

I took out a book from a poet I know.

A book to help me sort the riddles of words she weaves.

A book to find the answers of her poem.

This book has helped me not.

Why tonight.

Tonight I took out a book from this poet I know.

To help me find the answers amongst the page.

But the answers I seem to miss, are the answers I need the most.

I tried to decode these precious words, on the page, from this poet I know.

But alas they escape me.

My mind left to wonder circles in the desert for days, searching for "water in my palms" and answers for my soul.

So tonight I took out a book from a poet I know.
