No rhyme or reason


In the land of the unspoken,
words have a curious way
of sneaking up on one another
and becoming each other.
Of losing their beginnings
and middles
to end up alike,
into each other
like night and day.
Until the game is ended
when the tale is told.
It turns into truth then,
the tale.

Wowow, superb poem dear .... Have you read the story where the poet gets thoroughly confused by the end whether he is this man dreaming of the butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of being a man...
You are inspiring me to start poems again
