Reasons unknown

I go deep into the forest

to find the flowers that grow on the edge of the mountain

where the water falls into the emptiness below

I weave a garland for you

I carry it in a bag tied close to my heart and come to you

You ask "Why ?"

I go to the lake and sit quietly

Look at the waves talking to the rocks

whispers all over the place

You come wandering and sit by my side

I see the sky and your smile

I write a sonnet and offer it to you

You take it and ask "Why ?"

Late in the night you are making your bed

Engrossed in other chores that are trivial but yet need attention

I am sitting in my garden watching the stars

with the sounds of crickets and frogs giving music to the night

And I look to the heaven's above and ask "Why not ?"
