Every Poem is a Translation

 

Wordsworth considered his rainbow up on high

And what he saw and felt through it, he wrote -

Translating an arc of refracted light

Into a transcendent vision of life

 

But his considerations through paper and ink

Are but darkness and silence without readers

Because the rainbow needs our vision, our joy

Without which there is no rainbow at all

 

We open the book, the page, the words, the light

To find the rainbow that he wrote to us
