Certainty

Where does the camellia flower begin and end?

Of that I am uncertain.

What joy does the light of day, what fear does the night send?

Of that I cannot say.

What secret is there that cannot be told?

Of that I am not sure.

Where does my reflection go when I am away from the mirror?

Of that I am unsure.

The fox looks not for answers in the woods,

The rabbit digs and digs and reveals nothing.

But will the fox devour the rabbit.

Of that I am certain.
