Questions...

For what do you lament?

That which you have lost

Or the new knowledge of you?

For who do you love?

The pristine imagined ideal

Or the messy reality right here?

For where do you seek?

In the caves of fading memories

Or the bold unexplored horizons?

For which will you choose?

To deepen your clinging roots

Or flutter your restless wings?

For how will you move forward?

By turning towards spirit light

Or the underworld of soul?

For why do you write?

In the surging need for closure

Or the hungry want for an opening?

For when will you know?

When equanimity prevails

Or when wildness calls?
