Does the seashell hear us when we press it to our ear?
Does the sun wait for us to rise & to set?
Do the trees secretly long to sever their roots?
Is the crescent moon smiling or frowning?
Do crickets sing for Night or for Day?
Does the sky ever ask, "Why is the human blue?"
Do we till the soil or does it till us?
Can Good see Evil's light & evil, see Good's darkness?
