When?

When did I learn to look and why?
How far did I learn to see and how much farther have I wandered?
Have I found rest in the seas and their vastness
or in the depth of the winds?
Have I looked deep enough into faces with a million stories?
Have I felt at one with the tiny stir of a new born leaf?

When did I learn to pause while I look and why?
How long do I pause and how silent am I?
When did this sorrow and this joy seep into me?
How long have I been looking?

When did the mountains stop growing!

When did the earth stop changing!
