You are a new world

Unexplored and unexplained

For this scientist to study

I send in probes

To sample your environment

But only some come back

And others return odd data

Speaking of mysteries

Defying experience

What equations capture

Your elusive nature

And complex responses?

I learn the language

Of your personality

Only haltingly

Yet I remain confident that

Over time your secrets

Will unfold for my eyes only

And your treasures of love

Will be open for my knowing

Because you give them freely
