There is no song of truth

The tune of truth

Won’t echo within a song.

If they attempt to sing it,

The beat would go all wrong.

*

A single note you may find

In the shadow of a dark alleyway.

Another hum may pull you close

At an empty silent bay.

*

Put song in the world,

How profoundly it is hung.

But try to put the world in song,

It simply can’t be sung.

*

You won’t find truth in any tune

Nor in painting, picture nor in the sky.

You’ll find it only where you search,

In places unreachable to the human eye.
