THE UNQUESTIONABLE LIFE*

Folder: 
JOURNAL #36

so haunted yet alluringly lovely

his gravelly voice

so tinged in his

repeated request

the words 'take me there'

keep filtering through my own

mind

as his music drums and throbs

to seep so sensuously

into my ears

my own private pictures of

beseech meant

sing along in their

parallel substitute

to what he is singing

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO

I WANNA KNOW WHATS NEW

I WANNA GO WITH YOU

WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN

WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT'S NEW

all vibrations of a soul seeking answers

to 'The Unquestionable Life'

a mystery snaking through infinity

wearing a Harlequin's robe of

sweet paradox

without one

you can not have the other

I bow to the singer's careful discovery

of this very uncertain certainty............
