THINGS I MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND

The older that I grow…it seems there more and more I do not know
about this world I live in…this wonderland.
When I look at the ocean and the trees…and think of them…then think of me
there are so many things I do not understand.

Like how the sun in the morning can apply…so many colors to the sky
painting a magnificent landscape in pigments dark and light
how that landscape changes through the day…but the sun still finds a way
to return and paint again at night.

How birds and flowers are related…it’s one reason they’re created
a fact nature does not try to hide
and subtly she shows this…for she wants us all to know this
when she creates a flower with a bird inside.

And how often do you wonder when you hear a clap of thunder
how that sound makes its way into the sky
or when you see a butterfly…or two…have you ever wondered who
decided to create a flower that can fly?

I do not understand how natures builds a mountain grand
or how an ocean of water can look like glass
or how a river on the ground can make such a lovely sound
or why there’s so much beauty in a blade of grass.

How it’s impossible to be lonely when you walk in nature only
by yourself without a soul to see…
because when you look around at the sky and on the ground
there are so many things to keep you company 

I guess as long as I am growing…I will find joy in not knowing
so much about the air…the sea…the land…
for I am glad to live in awe of all the things I see…and saw
glad for all I do not understand.
