Questions unasked ..

Will you hear the story of a man
The man who once set on a search
He searched for water in an unforgiving land
Through relentless heat, In an endless desert
Till he saw mirages in vain, Mirages on the searing sand
Will you hear the tale of a beast
Tied by a chain to a rock at birth
He tried to escape but fell at each try
Till he forgot the sound of wind and mirth and joy
A beast he grew to be, Yet convinced once more to try
Will you listen to the whispers of a child
Left in a stormy sea to find his own
Without a guide and without an oar
Listen to the whispers of that child
A child he remained, no more
Will you understand when I ask you
Can you see the child my friend
Beyond the harsh black of the mans eyes
Can you hear the beast in his spirit
Hear the heaves and cries he tries to hide
Will you quench the thirst of that man
The man who gave up hope
But could not give up his pride
An unknown destination he seeks
A quest through pain, on a faltering stride
Will you believe me my love
That I searched for you day and night
Alas! I am now a lost man, Lost on the desert sand
Will you lend a hand or let it be
Will I be forever lost, Or will you find me?
