Can you, o tears, stop flowing?
Stop flowing down in streams?
Every drop, every tear, a memory unfailing,
Every drop, every tear, a feeling unfading.
Can you, o heart, stop beating?
Stop beating for a lost feeling?
Every beat, every pump, a fear never-ending,
Every beat, every pump, a lost wanderer crying.
Can you, o mind, stop thinking?
Stop thinking to stop questioning?
Every why, every how, a cruel reminding,
Every why, every how, just a man dreaming.
Can you, o eyes stop searching?
Stop searching for that past happenings?
Every sight, every light, a waiting,
Every sight, every light, a precious leaving.
Can you, o ears stop listening?
Stop listening to stop missing?
Every sound, every voice, a vain hoping,
Every sound, every voice, a lost dreaming.
Can you, o hands stop feeling?
Stop feeling for something?
Every touch, every feel, a useless wanting,
Every touch, every feel, a fool needing.
Can you, o lips, stop calling?
Stop calling to stop sinking?
Every noise, every call, a tunnel echoing,
Every noise, every call, a naive wondering.
Can you, o tears, heart,
mind, eyes, and ears,
and hands and lips,
Stop?
Stop to stop dwelling?
Stop to stop this tale, resurfacing?
Can you?
