while plankton fade
           with the fate of stars
i kneel in sand
and with a stroke of my hand
engrave the question on the beach
and scroll it with a question mark
high where the water
           wouldnt reach

then kneeling i face
that pensive grace
the morning breathing of the sea
which slides my mind
mist under time
