Understanding

A bridge between hearts, a guiding hand.

To illuminate truths in the light of day.

In the cadence of verse, it whispers softly,

In the rhythm of lines, it speaks profoundly.

It seeks to unravel the mysteries within,

To decipher the secrets that lie therein.

Understanding in poetry is a gentle art,

A union of empathy and intellect's part.

It listens, it learns, it empathizes deep,

In the silence between words, its secrets keep.

So let poetry be the vessel, the key,

To unlock the doors of understanding free.

For in its verses, we find the common ground,

Where understanding and empathy abound.
