do you listen for the answer?
Are you willing to let the question
seek its course, like the tendrils
that reach into memory,
like the seeping of water
down and down, through the soil?
Not hearing an answer
is often the result
of speaking again too soon,
throwing your voice against
what sounds like nothing
but is really the seeping and seeking
of the question,
which will bring back it's answer
in the fruition of your patience.
