With Our Hands

All the words ever uttered
arise from that one first
petulant cradle song
of 'why'?
A 'why'
reprised and voiced
with infinite variations.

Mysterious ways test us constantly.

The One mystery writer however
rewards both the hearing the
and the deaf,
by writing yet more mysteries
with our own hands.

In truth, the book of life
is unreadable
unless we write it.
