• I don't understand
    Why the water rolls over the stones.
    Why the grass is so soft.
    Why the air smells so crisp in autumn.

    But most of all
    Why the fir burns brightly.
    Why the sun is so warm on my skin.
    Why the darkness surrounds me.
    Why I feel so alone in a crowded room.

    What I understand most
    Why the night is a comfort to me.
    Why I love being near you.
    Why my heart beats loudly.
    Why I live each day like the last.
    Why I love the ones I do.
