Wonder, Part Ii
Outside my window,
A robin lands on the lawn
looking for a worm or two.
Squirrels scamper along
the branches of a holly tree
heavy with berries, eating
their fill, heaven for them.
My dog sits patiently but
expectant, waiting for me
to take him for a walk, out
into the world, his universe.
Why am I the only one who
questions, who asks why?
Why are we here, and why
am I the only animal who
can anticipate death, who
wonders where we go...?
