Dear world,
…..
Do you know-
Why flames burn deep in lover’s eye?
Why laurels drip in victor’s gold?
Or why a phoenix tail spreads ‘cross the sky,
then fades, like ashes ‘neath the smoldering moon?
Do you know-
How nature heals mankind’s divide?
How hearts in crimson spirit burn?
Or how hope ignites the darkened soul,
then blossoms, in a life that finds itself renewed?
Please tell me dear world both “why” and “how,”
For I gaze at oceans deep and ask-
What must I learn that others know?
