Poetry

It's hard for me to understand

People who don't

Understand poetry

I think it's because

They live on Mars and

I live on Venus 

I think it's because

Equations are important to them

And facts

And figures

And sales reports

And surveys 

You see

For me, there are  not 

Facts or figures

There are  sunrises

And orange

And red

And a million shades

Of white and gray

For me, there is mystery and Grace

Not measurements and temperatures

How do you measure a kiss?

How do you quantify a dance?

How do you test a full moon?

It's hard for me to understand

People who don't 

Understand poetry
