Ask a question any way you want.
The truth of the answer it won’t change.
Could the answers change the questions
into some other grammatical form or language?
Some day I will reach a place of Knowing nothing.
I’m wondering if invisible I will be. Or empty?
Better you’re transformed into the fullness of a symphony
with lots of brass, with a conductor with strong arms,
swamped by sound, swamped by the sound of love,
by loving the harmonies, the chord progressions,
digressions, compressions, suggestions, avoiding the
false prophets and easy answers to abstract questions.
But what pain will it bring us, who knows,
when our kisses fail to rise above simple disguises,
kisses of no fire, no passions, no stairways to heaven?
Answer from fullness, not from emptiness.
Answer with Mozart, with Bach, with Tchaikovsky.
Answer in full voice, sing in full harmony.
