What Happens

I don’t know what happens it just does. The simple explanation is only because. I don’t think it’s because of what I know. I just plant the seed and watch it grow. I become a part of everything that I see. They join together to become part of me. Sometimes I wonder, I want to understand, I’m not all that certain if I even can. The sun rises up to start this new day. Nothing remains the same it is different today. I see this puzzle before me not yet complete. The pieces are found in everything I meet. As the day goes by the pieces join together. I float through life as light as a feather. I don’t have any answers, I just see. I become a conduit for what can be. The day comes to a close I take another look. I see if there is something I might have mistook. All of these pieces become a part of a whole. They live in my heart and also in my soul. The night arrives and darkness prevails. It all stops like a ship without its sails. I lay my head down and go to sleep. I dream of everything that I did meet.
