the rain doesn’t ask
why it falls
the sun doesn’t ask
why it shines
the tree doesn’t ask
why it leaves
nothing
in all the world
asks why
except us
because we think
what we think
matters
and it does
but only to us
so what if
we let our thoughts
fall away like rain
what if
we shined like the sun
what if
we let our false-selves go
like leaves from a tree
what if
we stopped asking
why
what if
we just admit
we don’t know
and never will
and what if
we didn’t
make it mean anything

Indeed…quite a fine question to ask.
Thank you
I really liked the last stanza. To me it represents the idea of not projecting meanings where they are not needed and where there may be none.
Yes, thanks for reading!
This is incredible!
Thank you!
