A Madman's Question
What is this place
Where hearts lay bare
and souls bleed
and minds long for quiet?
 
Where is this place
where lifting hands touch
and friends comfort much
of the world's dreary toll?
 
Who's in this place
where kindness melds
and words lift us up?
 
What is this place
and why have we come
and what could have ever prevented us?
