perhaps (adv.)  1520s, formed from Middle English per, par "by, through" (see per-)   per- word-forming element meaning "through, throughout; thoroughly; entirely, utterly," + plural of hap "chance" (from the Online Etymology Dictionary © 2001-2013 Douglas Harper)

The power of just a single word:  perhaps.  As a title for an Opus, it opens up the inevitability of existence -- unfolding as it is.  It is an open ended offering.  Each of S Brian Adam's words, whether they be from his ongoing poem, or titles to his Opuses, are imbued with the levellings of Eternity.  They are contextual, and infer something that is seemingly familiar, yet never fully describable.  

S Brian Adam has dedicated a lifetime to a commentary on what is intangible.  His choice of words always leaves room for multiple interpretations. 

Each word he chooses is a body of knowing, a lifetime of, philosophy.  He is describing the wind, the air, the energy behind our own existence.   This is an inference of what he really is describing, commenting on, sharing in....

"Perhaps" -- as defined in its etymology is a amalgam of "per", meaning throughout, entirely and the plural of" hap" which means chance.   In its very mystery, it opens up to the entirety of all possibilities.  It becomes definitive, definite.  Perhaps, because it does not commit to one answer, one coloring, one understanding.  Because it does not end the question of what -- becomes the definitive acknowledgment of every possible answer. 

Within the high context of S Brian Adam's life intention, How Do How Do The Lovely Thing, the word "perhaps" is not a word of uncertainty anymore.  it is the most absolute knowing, complete answer.  It is taken in as the Universe.  Accepting the inevitable structuring of what is pure being, we know what is supposed to be, what is actually truth, without an intellectual formula. 

We feel our truth, we know our answer.

"The grass is green, because it is." , as S Brian Adam has written.  "Perhaps" is the answer.  The grass is green, because we accept that it is.  That is the answer:  an answer peaceful, nurturing, of  completion.

The silence of full "allowance", a word S Brian Adam uses in high context often, allows us to hear the open answering of the Universe in its own timeless, irrefutable language.  The word, "perhaps" , as offered by S Brian Adam, is a definitive statement of all time.
