52........We Don’t Know Why Poem by fawzia zie

~ We Don’t Know Why ~



The twinkling of stars on a balmy night,
The gabble of geese as they take flight,
A passionate look in your lover’s eye,
The graceful ballet of a butterfly.



Living on the edge, in a committed way,
Facing all challenges day by day,
Your life on the line—to do, not just try,
Life is exciting—a natural high.



Failure and boredom appear in your life;
Unhappiness cuts you, just like a knife.
“Where are all the good times, ” you cry;
Is life just hard, and then you die? ”


The freshening feel of an ocean breeze,
The colors of change in the leaves on the trees,
The feeling of peace as the days go by,
Life's a dazzling puzzle—and we don’t know why.
