The Unanswered Question
The Unanswered Question
Trumpets play unsure tattoos
Heralding uncertain news
Impatient cosmic call and response
Where do the true answers lie?
When those declared don’t satisfy
Announcing unfulfilled needs and wants
Underneath, the notes ring clear
An apt reply will soon appear
Listen, for an answer’s there somehow
There is only the eternal Now
