Do You Want to Know?

Do You Want to Know? circa 1992 by Barbara E. Meyer

Does the night really fall?
Perhaps in motion slow.
Does a city sit upon a waterway?...and evening Grow?
Do things really do these?
Or is all for show?
Do you want to know?
Do you want to know?

Is the idea of overlooming perhaps an obtuse thought?
Does a weaver sit and weave above a woven cloth?
These things seem a bit uncanny but consider circumstance: These are as much of history as a time old dance.
Do you feel a bit uncertain?
Afraid to take a chance?
Are you?
Will you take a chance?
Time is odd and things are strange and comfort far away.
Yet examine yourself carefully, and look- you are okay.
You are here
and You are right, that you do belong..
Many walked the length before you,and now you too will grow strong.
I want to know. I want to know.
Be strong, my friend, trust those around you and: You will know, You will know.
Some will go, some will stay
Some others will come back, others you may never walk with-on or off the track
Many you will speak with or sing a common verse.
You must begin upon your journey now, and without any rehearse.
I want to know-say it-
I will know-louder-
I truly will know-sing it
I do know!
Yes.
