We Must Ask
We Must Ask
Too many times I make friends to lose and make new ones again.Questions, questions, question and another …
Where have all the good ones gone?Questions seem so like a giant candle of wax
Some should never be asked.
Passed the point of guarded ignorance
Sharp as an easy gliding pen, well, what’s the point?
We’ve spent ten thousand yearsGuessing, guessing, and acquiesing
What are we doing here?Smoke rises In the clear and heady air
My thoughts mercilessly match this tiny thing between my skins …
Burn it down to nothing.All I have are questions unresolved and motives so devised
All I have is skin and blood.Deriving rationalization from universal inquiries
Questions and Emotions and my reason for being balances somewhere between
To uncertain Devotion, my beliefs and the ability to proceed -Wavering in the wind on the tightrope I walk
With all my weight steady myself to cross …
Still first steps my feet deftly delay.
Emotions so like a flicker in the fog …
Do I act or should I ask, a brief flickering light offers the refrain
No, no, no, no time to think!
Take a walk across the ice or stay the same
Safely sitting next the fire’s flame.
Safely sitting next the fire’s flame.
