Evergrowing Questions

One morning I wondered
Along with the whirring sound of my coffee grinder
Along with the chirping sounds of birds
Along with the music on my radio
I asked myself before I go...
Are you here?



In the afternoon I wondered
Along with the honking sound of cars in traffic
Along with the ticking sound of typewriters
Along with the crowds of people
I asked myself before I walk away...
Are you here with me?

Tonight, I began to realize

That all of those questions didn't quite enough
All of those questions just led me to another question
Along with the dreams
I asked myself before I close my eyes...
Are you here with me... Forever?
