do you ask a butterfly
to pause and feel her wings?
do you ask a little bud
to open herself to let you in?
do you ask the ocean
to stay still upon her rising waves?
do you ask a raging storm
to tarry a while, or change his way?
do you ask a jagged stone
to soften himself beneath your sole?
do you ask the silent trees
to share stories hidden and untold?
then, why do you ask,
I wonder,
about what you or I could be?
why become something
more or less,
than just you
and me?
