sometimes it is difficult to understand
why a kind word merits no reply
why birds fly against the current of the wind
and the sky appears empty
I dont have a philosophy for this
I say to myself in quiet corners
looking out through the window at
the friendly trees which do seem
to hear me in the rustling of their leaves
why are the kind so often shunned
is the world that contrarian?
even in Heaven I will still be asking why
why were the cruel so prevalent
making others cry.
