Questions of a Silent Soul

The questions of a silent soul 
would be enough to burn a giant hole 
through the windy palaces of the frozen lands 
and the hostile dunes of the sifting sands 

They would seek the answers that no one would 
disregarding the common should and could 
the senseless syntax would not mind 
for none shall hold that could not bind 

The heart would answer, try as it might 
to give the soul the endless sight 
to help it understand wrong from right 
giving daylight to the dismal night 

The questions of a silent soul 
would have no purpose and no goal 
and yet it would falter not at all 
to query everything big and small...
