For the flowers of silence to bloom
Are we truly alone
Is a question I have pondered
Even sleep drives thoughts
Chewing the living embers
Mints mere memories
All chasing life
Are we truly alone
In a Universe that breathes sound
Where earth is only
A monk’s chamber of echoes
Others have visited
And some have heard
Are we truly alone
In the midst of living
Within a terrain of images
Spouting like a geyser
Once earth heats
To release emotions
Are we truly alone
Or a fugitive awaiting time
For the flowers of silence to bloom
Is a question a timid footfall ponders.
