Blazing Questions

I used to track
the will of a knowing sign
But now trail the sign 
of all that’s lost
Each breeding
a haunting voice
and a tempting spark
But must remain
the colourful underside
of a dream

Of a state 
roasted in blazing questions,
that I, 
alone, 
must answer

I used to craft 
a ring around each dizzying song
That guides the strings
along 
and charms each voice,
to the inductive sway of an
accompanying dance
that no one in mind can hold
to trust

I lent my sight to one
with the same dream…
my kindness now resides 
in me

I leant on a giant 
as he lifted some…
To kiss the same sun I now 
so reluctantly see

But true questions require will

Can blazing musings
quench a raging fire of despair?
Would dizzying songs restore 
the molten state of care?

For one who’s lived,
my night ends when signs cease to show
Yours depend
on endings and tangled souls 

For rising questions,
faithful and alone inside…
a sign is the current before
we dream of lasting love
