The Hunger of Why

Why are we here? There is an aching craving deep gnawing within heart and mind pondering how and what life is, the conundrum of how it all came to be and the eternal question of why. This is the inner hunger wretching in the gut tugging at the heartstrings and its beat tearing voracious at the spirit and soul with prayer and deepest thought, whinge of why. These are the languid askings, wanderings, pinings in dark soulless nights encompassing the yearning need and want the have to be of the unseen and unknown longing covetous desires for cause and proof of why. This is the puzzlement unanswered lingering doubt in mysteries of existence be you a believer or not, we are hungering for the enigmas of life all the hows and wheres and whens of why.
