QuestionsA Poem by Maryam MottahedehQuestions When is the returning Where is the reunion Whom shall be quests Hosts and spectators
When is this coming So many have spoken of The page in time
Will the dawn of 2012 Blaze through the cemented brick walls Through shadows Underneath the rocks And down into the cellars
By which force Upon which gates do we stand To catch a glimpse of the second big bang Will this be a solitary journey Do the fish swim alone Can an eye witness itself
Are we so sure of our ways That we don’t stop to question them anymore
Should we look for a middle man Should we look under our nose And listen to our heart
Get off the bus And escape the rout of predestined stops I heard in the rain That storm of midnight The silent thunder
Why wait and waive the flag Of it’s just a matter of time Is it ever just © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
