Looking

– for way home –

I’ve a lifetime invested
Searching for a place,
I might have rested
In its calm embrace,
Afore weary bones
Be made yet carry, 
A still spirited body
Seeks but want tarry,
Tho when and where
Suggests not to hurry,
As fate leads me there
Will somehow show,
The many times before
A pleasure held to roam,
In idle distances and more
Save till now finding anxious, 
Cause be looking for way home!

Wanting

        – to know why –

Would it matter,
Wanting
To know why,
If one didn’t
Get an answer,
Having thought
To wonder,
Ought question
Mental wrought,
Find whether
Trouble ought,
Tho no longer
Above water,
While persists
Probe forever,
One considers  
Being clever,
Mightn’t ever 
Learn reply,
Wanting
To know why, 
Best be left
Without an answer!
