A Question With No Answer

Confusion disguised as untruth

A question with no answer

A guess without a clue

No knowledge consumed

Is pain

Unable to speak words

As they came

Into your mind frame

Escaped your lips

As they part

Rolled of your tongue

Blackened your heart

Surrounded by a fence

Unable to enter

The center of your chest

Surrounded in blackness

Take your last breath

As your breathe

Came from a force

That once was a seed

That bleeds

That feels pain

Came into a world

Represented by your name

Going through the mysteries

Unable to understand

Speaking in a language

You do not comprehend

As I write with my hands

The words I write speak

Painting for you a picture

So that you may see

Even if you don’t understand

Lost in a world

Returned

To a distant land
