When

Why does the world turn? Like pages in a book Unfolding the universe Chapter and verse Before our eyes Why do the clouds make rain? Like Gods wisdom, falling from the sky Making life unfold before our eyes Poem and verse, never explained In the mist, we wonder in vain Why does my heart beat? For someone so far away The moon, lifting up towards the nighttime sky As cold winds wipe away my thoughts One must ask, why? When will she see? Like waves in the ocean Adventures were meant to be Exploring new worlds Where all things become possible When?

:) this one of my picks :) i like 2nd line but i like more the last line... :) there is that sense of discovery in the lines and the feeling of hope in it.. :) the 2nd stanza denotes for me God's grace when we start to find answers to our unanswered thoughts and prayers.. :)

Hola Arthur; I'm back, this is a very good question of Why? The world keeps changing everyday and everyday it's turning. Sometimes we don't see it, because we are too busy with other things. Great poem and gracias .... Lucilla .
