Why

Why do my eyes see what they see?
Why do my ears hear what they hear? 
Why does my mind think what it thinks?
Why does my heart feel what it feels?

Who is seeing, hearing, thinking and feeling?
The happiness, the sadness, the pureness, the madness
The significant love and passion 
The disgraceful hatred and jealousy 
Growing with my innate desires
Soon will be gone with the wind 
Leaving all the beautiful and ugly to my body, mind and soul 
Whispering secretly to the sky, stars and the universe
With my breath in the cold air 
Drifting away 
With my blood like the languished rose 
Flowing from the river to the sea

Why?...
