Q is for Questions QuestionsI ask the world.She answers in parables of rustand empty branches.She answers with the scent of fallenleaves and the musk of earth,turning over in a last fidgetbefore sleep under a white blanket.
She will dream her way backto the dawning sun, to the placewhere my skin and your skin is setto flame. She will dream her way backto leaf buds opening tender mouthsto early rain.
She will find me here, still askinghollow questions that echothrough the mountain narrows.The questions that keep pilinglike leaves spent in flame.
She will answerwith a warm dancing wind thatrakes the sky's reflectionin the pond's watery eye.
She will answer with the light at dawn,the sound of thrush and lark,the smell of new grace.In the fire silence of the hour,she will answer with cirrus cloudsinked on the new opened canvasof sky.
