The Importance Of Being

I wanted to explain

my thoughts on 

the nature 

of light and dark,

of sharp and soft,

of circles and rings.

I thought I’d succeeded

but no one understood me

and I wanted to be understood.

It was a puzzle

I tried hard to resolve

but no one understood me

unless I called them by their names.

Unless I call them by the names

that they had created

I am misunderstood,

misinterpreted

unresolved.

But now,

I think that

I like this mystery

that I have created.

Though 

I am always open

to interpretation.

I am

what

I am.
