GAUL STONES
How many times do we have to start over?
Where is the wind when it leaves the trees?
How far away are the Straights of Dover?
What becomes of the burdened pleas?

Where is the viewpoint in apocalypse?
Doesn’t the smoke burn deep in your eye?
Why do the singing through the eclipse?
What happens when lessons intensify?

Who counsels the legions each day at dawn?
What happens to lifelines left untied?
From where sail the vessels into San Juan?
Why do the four leggeds know when to hide?

How do the sisters know what to say?
How do the brothers know when to fight?
What becomes of the light after day?
Where do the clouds drift during the night?

I like the meter and cultural freedom. Maybe? some more question marks to spill over the structure into your thought stream. Also, did you missspell the word "legends". Thom

four-leggeds, as in animals I think. I really like these.
