The End of the Poem

[. . .]
something seems to be lost,
   but in time,
like the memory of a lover,
it returns. . .
        sometimes
                in an unexpected way.

Do not ask the big questions—
                why
                and why
                and why now—
   with the expectation of an answer.
Sometimes
  the lack of an answer
is the reason
        for being:
it is what the sailor hears
            when he is seduced
by the sound
        of the sea.
