All Meaning Is Within
What purposes, or what intentions,
Or random impulses or accidents;
What synchronicity, or suspension
Of doubt or denial is any evidence?
That you come upon these words,
Unknown entity has hereby written;
In nebulous realms now to be heard,
With no guarantee of any attention
Is it a bottled message cast on seas,
Of open exclusions n' idle reflection;
Or an abstract arrow aimed at thee,
Is decision resting in your conviction.
Only you decide what has meaning,
Determined from within perception;
Your perception renders it deeming,
Or not, the rest is unseen election.
