What Don't We Know?

Location

Have you ever considered the mind of a fish?

Whether he laments his glass imprsonment

And dreams of swimming in the ocean?

 

Have you ever pondered the state of a house?

Is it truly happy when the rooms are clean

Or sad when it stands empty and alone?

 

have you ever questioned the speed of the rain?

If the drops are racing for victory and purpose

Or simply fleeing from the clouds?

 

Have you ever wondered why the trees whisper, why tears leave trails?

Who tells thunder to applaud the world?

What makes silence so loud?

 

Well, I don't know.

I don't know whether the world lives or breathes.

But isn't that wonder-ful?
