Poetry 30:Why?

175 13 4
                                    

Every imagined why,
There seems to be
A perpetual sky.

Why are clouds
So strikingly white?
Why is the sun
So gleaming and bright?

Why do we fall in love?
When we're aware
That we're bound to get hurt?

Why does a tear escape
When something hurts,
Or we make a mistake?

Why do people
Always leave?
Why is it, that we grieve?

Why do we
Get attached so soon?
Why does the Sun
Never get to see the Moon?

Why is everyone
Scared of falling?
Why is music
Always so calming?

Why do people die?
Isn't it unfair?
Why is peace
So sacred and rare?

Why is there war
Can't there be happiness?
Why is it that sometimes,
All we need is ourselves and silence?

Why does the world,
Have to work this way?

But it's just the way it is:
Time keeps ticking
As the clouds sway.
