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?
