Why

Breathe, why
The sky, why
My heart, why
Living, why

The past, to die

I am not in sky
I am not at all
I am if at all
Underneath the leaf of fall

Seasons change

Why?

I love the philosopher in you Arthur :-) This is beautifully expressed and crafted. If we knew the answers to all 'why' questions I believe we stop living. Great writing, a fave, 7+ blessings xx
