does that mean I can't speak their language?
At night when I dream, who is it
that whispers in my ear--
soft guiding words?
When I was a boy I would wake
from an afternoon nap
and see him rocking in his chair.
But he's not there anymore.
Not even a shadow.
I've found I'll never find answers,
only more questions to spur me on.
