Final Question

Always
Expanding
Always
Evolving

We were always connected
Always in sound
Tracing the edge
With no solid ground

A nameless shape
Slow-spun, drawn
Always arriving
Never gone

Beneath the noise
Beneath the breath
There's a layer
Beyond death

It widens out
Like water set
Moving past
What we forget

There's a voice
Like my own
There's a glow
Feels like home

Quiet flame
Brave and blind
Shining through
The weary mind

Stay in the light
Stay in the light

Tender hum
In the bone
Distant choir
Sung alone

Pulling me
From before
I am the watcher
I am the door

I don't know how
I don't know why
I watch the stars
Behind my eyes

We shaped the signal
(To face the fear)
We spoke it softly
(To draw it near)
We held the meaning
(To let it void)

Nothing made
Nothing destroyed
Small as dust
Wide as gods
We dared be gentle
Against the odds

The question's not why
(Why, why)
The question's not how
(Now, now)

The void's a garden
The void's a knot
The final question
Is why not?

Why not
(Spits the fire)
Why not
(The one transpires)
