Mid Summer

If no grain then why this hunger?

If no drop then why this thirst?

If there is no road then why this journey?

If there is no balm then why this hurt?

If no words then why this conversation?

If no answers then why these questions?

If there is no moon then why this night?

If there is no sky then why these wings?

If there is no rose then why these thorns?

If there is no shoulder then why these tears?

If there is no saviour then why this storm?

If there is no companion then why this loneliness?
