I have all the answers you may ever wish to know
Small ones, great ones, least ones, best ones
Though upon reflection one thing still does show
With all the answers that I have…I still don’t know the questions.

The ever-elusive question to your answers:  "Why?"

Steavenr -- My Dad used to always say, "the more I know, the less I know."  Your poem made me think of that.  Thanks for the memory through your well-penned verse.

Love it!
this brought a *giggle* out of me...
not "at" you, just "with" you

just make someone angry, you'll get the "20 questions"!

anyways...Mark stated it well...
thats the only question anyone ever really cares to hear an answer to...the "why"

i really enjoyed this

makes me think of douglas adams' "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"... :-)

turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again...

In a word...Brilliant!  Now I will explain (because in case you haven't figured this out by now, I have more to say about everything!) LOL  I have said this before many times...my writing provides me with answers to questions I never knew I had.  This poem so reminded me of why I write.  Some say they always know where they are going when they pick up their pen.  Most times, I have no idea.  A line will come in or sometimes an image and then the answers will unfold...yet I never knew I had a question until the words are on the page.  

This is a must keep in the library, my friend.

Uhhh, can you tell how much I love this?

This made me laugh, is that okay?  I'm feeling giddy today, I guess.  I really smiled at your words.  I think my six year old has all the questions, I can hook you up if you'd like!  hahaha!
