"Why?" – Questions are answered tomorrow

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language.”

 –  Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

When the storm rages on the oceans way, 

“Why?” is not a question for the gales stay.

When the earth trembles and shakes us deep, 

“Why?” is not a question we should keep.

When the starry skies shed their bright lights, 

“Why?” is not a question for that dark night.

Reap the strong currents of dire sorrow,

 “Why?” is answered only by tomorrow…

Seedling of the Tide – Bloom where your planted

 “Don’t go through life, grow through life.” – Eric Butterworth

Life is given riding with the tide

On those waves the seed will ride

Being planted with the water’s flow

Giving birth to a crowning show

Breaking it’s shell the water will nurse

the babe of life, breaking the tide’s curse

for the seed’s journey where never to end

had the tide not released it on the sharp bend

So follow your course, feeling the ebb and know

Soon you can be planted no more to roam
