Within the Poem

A poem, an expression in thought
Without limitations as to style
    otherwise one will become lost in the structure

A flow which creates it's own music
Lush, sumptuous, methodical
    Yet not always pleasant

A truth which only the author knows
Others must only guess that they feel
    The internal sensation

A moment grasped from the past
Which must be released
    Or death prevails on the thought

If death is conveyed
    Then life is lived
If love is the answer
    Then life is full
If sorrow is known
    Then happiness fulfilled
If an answer is given
    Then the question will
                   Be Within the Poem

Thank you for your comments I have an additional tidbit to add to this poem.

Poetic Offering

If it's too shallow
     then it will be uncovered quickly and forgotten
If it's hidden to well
     then it is overlooked
If it is planted between
     then it is nurtured and continues its growth

I thought this ‘write’ was most pleasant!

[and, it is (even if likely unintentional on
  the part of its author) rather a grand-fine
  answer to the ‘what is poetry’ challenge
  that I had issued awhile ago (which went,
  I believe, unanswered)]

long-sustained applause for this poem!!
