There is an always unanswered question -
a loosened thread at the bottom of a shirt
a perpetually odd sock in the washing machine -
but to find the answer
one must first know the right thing to ask
and there are too many to fathom
that special one which might unlock
a single secret, or is it several,
that will lead you on the path to happiness
so you stumble on, forever seeking
that which seems close yet just out of reach,
are sold truths by those who have found their own
but who cannot possibly know if it will work for you -
you may find yours in the arms of Jesus or a rent boy
climbing Everest, giving birth or dying
forgetting all the while that all this time you spend looking
is time you could be spending feeling in your bones
the only thing which ever makes a difference.....
