When I trace back in time –
In search of my beginning,
In search of what contained me in;
I found, I have been asked to seek.
I have been asked and so I am seeking!
When I fence myself in the dark –
In search of some light,
The fine ray defining my being;
I found, I have been asked to see.
I have been asked and so I am seeing!
When I delve to enquire the existence –
In search of knowing why there is change,
Why there is youth and why we are aging;
I found, I have been asked to grow.
I have been asked and so I am growing!
When I indulge myself into bonding –
In an attempt to nullify solitude,
To get peace, to get happiness in living;
I found, I have been asked to love.
I have been asked and so I am loving!
When I ink my pen to arrange my thoughts –
I sit down to compose with various expressions,
With language – I think, I speak, I sing;
I found, I have been asked to write.
I have been asked and so I am writing!
