Dawn & Dusk

I may exaggerate
Miscalculate and over-estimate
I may badly mistranslate
The script of my heart

I may fail to moderate
Or consistently over-rate
Completely misappropriate
The feelings in my mind

My words may be inadequate
Handwriting inelegant
And my spelling attempts negligent
As I attempt to hit the resonance
Of the cry of my soul

But what is legitimate
As I play this inner instrument
Is that I hope of understanding this magnificent
And extremely intricate
Person that I am
