And yet why

there was a day
	when I did fly
over patchwork fields
	in cloudless sky

and I did marvel
	and wonder then
what I did seek
	Within the sky

on open road
	I did race
with roaring engine
	to someplace

past farmers’ fields
	over mountain’s high
stopping not
	just traveling by

and now I sit
	in dark of night
in the endless thoughts
	and I wonder why

so many things
	and places a far
endeavoring have I
	yet but why

as I reflect
	and within my thoughts
seek to un-pick
	the tapestry

what did I seek
	or simply flee
what was the meanings
	was there a reason why

as dawn breaks
	as through window I gaze
and people race by
	into another day

what purpose have they
	unto what do they go
do their lives have meaning
	or just simply be

is just today
	just another day
where I do wonder
	and wonder why

where would I go
	and what would I seek
will I find meaning
	or simply be
