A Question
A Question
Is the nectar
of anticipation sweeter
than the wine distilled
from tomorrow turned yesterday?
Is the tender moment
of profound release
sustaining enough to bridge
the emptiness left in its wake?
Is a song unsung
wilting on mute lips
sadder than the banked fire
fading in sightless eyes?
Is the coming of rain
to an arid heart
less fearsome than the
rage of the tempest bearing it?
