Questions

More and more questions

What should I wear today?
What do I want for lunch? 
What time should we leave?

Questions that serve

those questions that

Why do I smile when the trees speak to each other?
Why does the smell of sawdust remind me of Dad?
How is it a terrible storm leaves behind such peace?

Questions that simultaneously
freeze and thaw my heart
As I consider the answers

Answers that will undoubtedly 
change with age and experience
As long as I continue to ask
