The question was quite difficult, complex, onerous,
Problematic, painful, presented not in jest, no humor,
No tears, yet trending toward despair, the oppression of fear,
Challenging, broad in scope, laborious and demanding,
Sounded in a scream, fist clenched and pounding, piercing with intent.

The answer was quite simple, unexpected, disarming,
Presenting an apology, admitting possible error, smiling,
Disqualifying certainty, suspending the senses, elevating hope,
A finger pointing upwards, eyes cast down, focusing and loving,
Breathing into sound, heart open and erupting, foreknowing while forgetting.
