Searching for answers I don’t know
What the questions are
When life is overwhelming me
And where to head is far
Directions spin like children’s toys
I am the dust of stars
Drifting through these endless days
Spreading near and far
My heart is filled with darkness and then
Sudden bursts of light
My arms hold the universe
I sing mist into night
Across the blackened sea me myself I
Sail over the moon
Night may hold eternity
But Dawn comes all too soon
Gather up my ponderings I
Enfold them in my breath
Give them to the winds of fate
My uncertain quest
Dancing on the swirling breeze they
Travel far and wide
While I await here patiently
On this eternal ride
A labyrinth of endless pain
Contains my question mark
Wrapped in soul I feel my way
Fight shadows in the dark
Endless turning pulls me free from
My embodied state
Shattered pieces lie before my
Shining three-fold gate
And when there’s nothing left but echoes
In the screaming winds
Deep waters swirling still
From where I might have been
A pile of scattered blackened ash that’s
Still warm from the spark
I find myself facing me
Reflections in the glass
In my quest for truth and wisdom I hold
Close the central part
That it is the journeying
Connecting mind to heart
I am the brightest flame above
The deepest darkest well
Shining in my loving arms
Myself my answers tell
Fairytales have answers
My fairytales have answers
What is your question?
