Each space holds its own secret,
Glance once, and see nothing,
Look deep, and find everything you’ve never known

Each space holds its own thought
Touch once, and feel the rough imperfections,
Really feel, and find each perfection that is hidden

Each space holds its own feeling
Listen once, and hear a lie,
Listen hard and know the truth

Each space holds its own character
Talk once, and see one side of things,
Talk for a while, and know
each secret,
each thought,
each feeling,
each character

I wrote this poem last year in my English class when I had Mr. Mike as a teacher. We went outside one day and wrote poems for an hour and a half.
