A Written Ode
A line is a line
A dot is a dot
But only the mind
Untangles the knot
Inscribe me a word
And then you will see
A meaning unblurred
Revealed unto thee
A voice from the page
A thought imagined
A concept engaged
With written caption
But nary a slash
Nor mark unbridled
Not even a dash
Can be reconciled
Only the cipher
Can unfurl the code
Language deciphered
Through a written ode
