I continue to wonder but myriad
answers dance above my head
like lightening bugs in the pitch black
yard between the trees.
I try to catch one, then another
but there are too many
to focus on the exact right one.
Maybe Google has an answer.
It's been a doctor, a teacher
anything we've needed it to be.
Why can't it be a sage too?
One we can be awed by
addressing life's long-held queries
as in the here and hereafter
the beginning and end
death and rebirth
or perhaps, instead, I could be led
by new profound sensibilities
where knowing no longer appeals.
Curtains, then, will close
on fraught waters giving way
to an unflustered sea
and the questions melt away
like a candle burning brightly
through a dark night
till the sun needs it no more.
