Common Sense Evaluation

I am moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
I can soften rocks or bend a knotted oak.
Without me, life would be an error.
I separate the generations.
I express that which is inexpressible
And on which silence is impossible.
I am the art most nigh to tears and memory.
I am the shorthand of emotion.
I should strike fire from the heart of man,
And a woman I should bring to tears.
I can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.
I have been called the speech of angels.
 

Some like me hot and some like me cold.
Some prefer mild, others only bold.
Some take me straight, while some like to savor
My essence, to which has been added a flavor.

So put down your cares and sit awhile with me;
I’ll send you back refreshed and full of energy.
