Questions That Matter
We don’t always need the mirror, we reflect better in people who are close to us. As a dreamer lost in myself, I wake up one day and pose questions to my father to help me find myself.

I
I asked papa in the cold room
how long does it take one to the mountain top?
“Son, it takes a step to make hay
living in a dream
is not living a dream
wake, wear dem claws
make a climb
& firm de footing
a home on de mountain top
is not for any common man”.
II
I asked papa in the cold room
why has my soon never come?
“Son, it takes every day to make hay
living in a dream
is not living a dream
wake, wear dem claws
keep de climbing
& firm de footing
a home on the mountain top
is not for any common man”.
III
I asked papa in the cold room
above is the rain and beneath is the flame
where do I cross in ease?
“Son, it takes pain to make hay
living in a dream
is not living a dream
wake, wear dem claws
keep de climbing
& firm de footing
a home on de mountain top
is not for any common man”.
