Not Everything Should Be A Poem
       

not everything should be a poem.
      some things should be left undisturbed.
      to be as they seem without autopsy.
      some things need no words to be
      immortal.

      some things matter enough
      by themselves,
      without description.
      and no words will ever paint them well
      enough.
