If I May Ask.
If I may ask,
who the person is
that wills your task
and asks you to live?
If I may ask,
what do you give
behind all the masks
to the core of your earth?
If I may ask,
where are you going
under a sun to bask
or into a sun and your own god?
If I may ask
when will you get there
and feel love last
for infinite bliss?
If I may ask
how will it know
if its ready to rule
a lifetime of evolution?
