Why

Why is the sky blue?
Or grey, or violet black, or yellow, 
or white slashed with great tongues 
of flames burning the world?

Why is grass green?
Or blue, or brown, or yellow, 
or splashed white with clover 
and the hum of bees 
called to the first great feast of spring?

Why do leaves fall?
Layered in secret on the forest floor
Until only bare fingers scratch the sky.
Or herded in a frenzy
Before the winter wind
To pile in graves at fence rows
And burn as the last sacrifice of summer?

Thoughts

There are so many things in this world to think about. Ordinary things, important things, things that don’t matter, things that do, world shaking things, sad things, light airy things. I will probably write about them all but mostly I will try to keep it interesting at least to me.
