I look up and wonder

Just looked up into the endless skies
Thought of you and almost cried
Do you ever look up and wonder?
Do you ever question the hows and whys?
Does the universe ever deliver?
Does it answer those thoughts I see?
Deep within your sparkling eyes...
How come two souls can wander?
So close and yet be so far apart
Why do some finally meet their maker?
Without finding peace within their hearts...
Why do others stumble blindly?
Never seeing just how precious life can be...
My heart beats out its endless tattoo
Like a drumbeat in the dark...
Its vibrations never cease to amaze me...
Yet this life drags us hither and yon
We are washed up upon stormy shores
These tides that follow upon the moon
Why is life so difficult to fathom?
Why can't it just be easier? I swoon...
These tears keep on flowing: cannot stem the tide
Life just keeps on going and going
Hang on for that roller coaster ride
Saddle up: Grab hold of those reins
For tomorrow comes way too soon
And there is no way to halt it: no where to hide...
