Keep this fire going

After all this way,

I only want your questions.

The things you and I conclude

don’t matter much.

I don’t know why.

It just is so.

For all our talk of truth and God

won’t insure that you or I

are true or holy.

Just feed me your questions.

I need them to keep this

fire going.

— Mark Nepo, Reduced to Joy, p. 95
