Questions We Might Ask

What has your beauty seen 
   since I have seen you last? 
What songs have you begun to learn? 
How strong are they in you? 

For me, I want to notice skies 
   beyond the place 
   where man might stand and see. 
I want to drink the ocean dry 
   and not be satesfied. 
I want to fly and find 
   that I’m not in a dream 
and then perceive the things 
   that might be called unseen 

What was your saddest day? 
What do you celebrate? 
What do you fear 
   and do you walk away 
   or toward that place? 
If you could whisper anything 
   what would that be? 
And if you could proclaim 
   and reach all men, 
Think carefully 
   what would you speak? 

What is your pain 
   and why can you not 
   make it go away? 
What is your joy 
   and is it great enough 
   to make these sorrows small?
