Guess I'll Never Know.

Did you lead,
or did I follow?

Did you suggest,
or did I infer?

Did you express,
or did I wish?

Did you convey,
or did I gather?

Did you convince,
or did I believe?

Did you come close,
or did I miss a breath?

Did you let go,
or did I fall?

Did you injure,
or did I get hurt?

Did you forget,
or did I dream?

Did you kill,
or did I die?

Will I ever know?.

You didn’t say,
then how did I hear?

Guess I’ll never know.

Stillness Speaks.

Pulled apart in every direction,
choices…duties…commitments…rights...
demands…desires…expectations..
sapped, I flop down at the crossroads.
Stillness speaks.

Numb at the world,
frozen bonds…Deceiving loves…disappointing friends…
despise…deride…insensate…
I close me within myself.
Stillness speaks.

Stampede all around…
screams…cries…whines...
accusations…explanations…
buried in cacophony, I go silent.
Stillness speaks.

Struggle to survive,
plannings…logics…desperation…
whirling images… past…present… future…
I surrender to ‘Now’.
Stillness Speaks.
