What do you know

"When love comes to the well and asks,
What do you know,
it says,
I know thirst, I know abundance.
I know depth, I know darkness."

"When love comes to the ash and asks,
What do you know,
the ash says, I know the secrets between the volcano and the sky.

It says, I know wandering,
and I know the language of fire."

"When love comes to courage and asks,
What do you know,
courage says,
I know speaking, even though I am afraid,
and I know the daily work of keeping on."
