where is the quiver
and where is the bow
consigned to the fire
consumed by the snow
where is the bird
and where is its cage
destroyed in the grip
of fury and rage
where is the laughter
and where are the tears
cold in the ashes
encumbered with fears
where are the answers
and where is the quest
lost in the riddles
unanswered at best
where is the heart
and where is the home
sunken in silence
engraved in the stone
