Logan Skelton, a music professor at the University of Michigan, really made be find profundity in this poem, not just for its message, but also its construction. I was blown away by his video about it [1]. Really, it was a mind-blown thing for me. I really recommend watching it, it's reasonably short, but the TL;DR is that the meter and choice of silence can be interpreted as meaningfully as the words and context in which it was written.
