How old is the air
\ntrembling in my hand?
\nWho made the first journey
\nin the light?
\nWhat paint does the earth use
\nto color its flowers,
\nor more particularly its children?<\/p>\n
How many times are my thoughts repeated
\ntime and again?
\nOver and over until only a sigh remains.
\nWhy does the cosmos grow larger
\nwith so many empty rooms?
\nHow do we measure our youth
\nwith eternity?
\nIs the rock older than a sparrow\u2019s wing?
\nI throw it in the air for the first time.
\nWho gives away the world?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve given you so many kisses,
\nwhich one was the sweetest?
\nI stand very still,
\nwill the stillness find me?
\nAre the two things in my hand
\nworth the same amount of time?
\nYour fingers,
\nor the stone waiting to fly again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
