So ever

That there would be anything
but the breaking of day
to better beg the question,
historically, I know not of it.
The question being, of course,
how to go about this.

I pause never less than a breath
to spring upon the fragments of this,
the unleavened artillery, that perches
sometimes thoughtfully,
sometimes thoughtlessly,
in clouds of space all about my frame.
Impending then, the answer.

So curious it seems to me,
to spend so many hours in pursuit of that
which may not take a form I’d know,
even should I ever come upon it.
Nevertheless, I thought
So ever I’d query
Whatsoever,
Wheresoever,
Howsoever long;
Until I came to there
which may not be.

Lucky it is then,
that I have come to see
that what I seek and what I think
shall never intersect under my command.
For the only thing I know
is that I know no thing
but that contained within
this very phrase.

And with every being out
in search of answers never found,
ought not we be so ever more
concentrated on the questions?

The Same

Dark clouds rolling around
Dancing, swirling with the sound
Thin and sudden strips of light
Thick, deliberate drops of night

Faster beating, shorter breathing
Eyes like oceans, heart is steaming
Knuckles raw and war-torn
Words that pierce, a stream of scorn

Lids lock at once to hide the gloom
Thoughts unspoken fill the room
Mind fizzles, shortened fuse
Collects itself within the muse

The lull itself will wallow in
Until the shades are drawn again
At that moment godsent dawn
Reveals the dark, once there, is gone

Golden morning streams on through
Making mirrors of the dew
A fragrant breeze like baby's breath
Cancels any thoughts of death

Fresh windows to the soul are dry
Lungs expand, collapse in sigh
Furnace within has been removed
Tired mouth and mind are soothed

Mind will choose, body will follow
Heart will either fill or hollow
Come upon Earth wind, sleet, and flame
The Sun will rise and set the same
