A most unwelcome answer

    'Tis too late, said one. 
    Not here, said another.
    Then silence, or rather 
    Mystery not yet undone.
    
    There is an unspoken thought,
    an obvious sky-ridden star: 
    absolute, earnest by far.
    'Tis the answer you sought:
    
    of words twisted and obscure,
    many of which but manure,
    the world is full in surplus.
    
    If you write for pleasure,
    Then yours is the treasure:
    enjoy, and don't bother us.
