~ The Instrument… ~ 
☆
One more man merged today
into the eternal Silence
the same breathless hush
that once carried him here…
*
His name covered by dust
yet the wind still murmured
with the haunting questions
he left behind unanswered…
*
Where did we wander
before the first light found us
and where shall we drift
after the last flame folds away…
*
Perhaps the human heart
is only a fleeting lantern
lit not to banish darkness
but to reveal its hidden face…
*
Perhaps we are not
seekers at all but quiet reeds
through which the Infinite
sings its strange longings…
*
And when all dissolves
only the hush remains
where the Eternal listens
to its own unending questions…
