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
