The Right Question

 

Ask not my dear

Whether we should play the music of love and sing along

Ask not my dear

Why we don't just fall in each other's arms where we belong

 

Ask not my friend

If we should paint distant clouds in the rhythm of lyrics

Ask not my friend

If deep in each other's eyes we may solve life's subtle tricks

 

Ask not my dear

If we might learn deep theories, dissect the mumbo jumbo

Ask not my dear

If we could just lay on moist grass and marvel at the rainbow

 

Ask not my beloved

When we should sip fine coffee and debate its subtle flavors

Ask not my beloved

How we could join hands and help the world where it errs

 

Ask this my darling:

How on earth we will manage more and all of the above

Ask this my darling:

If a lifetime is enough to fulfill the promises of love!
