Analysis of Why
(As) I witness the seasons changing,
And day befalls unto night.
Feeling each phase of the moon
As it controls the ebb and flow of the tides.
Caressing the breeze upon my naked cheek,
Eyes dancing with the stars in the (midnight) sky.
Embracing my new found awareness,
Never again having to ask the question why.
