Emphatically: Renewal

‘What would have happened if?’
Is the very thing sought,
The answer to the inquiry,
The destination of the quest,

That which
Can never be found,
Cannot be sensed,
Cannot be felt or thought,

It transcends all notions
And yet underpins them;
Is invisible
But supports the visible,

What might have been
But cannot be known,
Of which we dream,
Cannot be seen but is crucial;

The unseen ray of sun
That shines behind the clouds,
This is the very one that reveals,
Even as it shrouds;

The voice that is silent
Cries out loud,
The thunderclap
Announces the lightening,

From near and far,
The answers are,
Underneath the flames,
The fuel that inflames;

From blackened charcoal
The fire reignites,
From the burnt out forest,
Bursts forth new life.
