Someone said to
me one day, why do you worry so.
I replied: Tis not the case, I
seek somehow to know.
When I see a bird in flight, I marvel of
his way
Wondering the reason, why, doth fill my every
day.
Someone said of me
one day, you must have faith in things.
Question not, but simply
take the value that life brings
I replied: My motives, pure and
deep within my soul,
Yearns a feeling I endure and wisdom I
extoll.
Someone said,
but who are you, a poor lad in the test
To seek of wisdom from
your place, is sure in failing rest
I replied: I cannot say, what
mysteries abound
Courage be my only tool, I will in that be
found.
Someone laughed
at me one day and turned an angry face
Seek ye not to wonder why,
you fool in common trace
I replied: My raiment not, reveals the
whole of me
Seeking, I avoid the plot that others state will
be.
I confess, I know
not why, I ponder that which seems,
By faith accepted as our lot,
in me are ageless dreams.
What is out beyond the sky, but stars
by name are known
Who pulls all the strings in man, to shape a
thought full grown
What
is love, that tender sprout that fells the strongest will
Who
turns off the light of day , and why do souls lie still
When is
tomorrow, and when did it become
a thought called
yesterday.
Nothing ends or dies in fact, but simply goes
away.
And the children of
my world, what measure is performed
Some with health and others
torn, the moment they are born.
Who decides that some may see the
glory of a sun,
While others live in darkness, brought by eyes
that never run.
Sad is
not this tale I spin, nor is my wish to say
I could weave a note
more pure, or judge another way
Merely that to understand this
journey not obscure
But in reason understood, that all things
might be pure.
