A humorous look at an important truth. I wrote it the other day rather quickly in blank verse, so it's simple, but I really like it. Hopefully, you can relate to it!

"An Intriguing, Most Peculiar Find"

...

More rare than diamonds,

Of sweet and silver karat;

More arcane than any magic

From any shore or time;

...

More illusive than the Sasquatch

Or some nocturnal urban myth;

More mysterious than a mystery

Lost in ages of decay;

...

As unknown as that yet uncharted underworld,

But as sweet as milk and honey;

As lost to every modern hand

As Atlantis or some simple peace;

...

So lovely, it's above the flowers

When it comes to beauty or to grace;

So elegant it supercedes a pas de deux

Of two caressing lovers, flying o'er the stage;

...

So sure, so supreme, so sublime;

Yet so rare, so arcane, so illusive, and so dark—

Fresher than the freshest mountain air—

Is that oh so simple understanding!

...

The End
