I Know Not Why ღ KKD ღ

A Poem by Donna DeLong Matthews aka Gold Pen Ghost

I Know Not Why



I sit here at water's edge
for the answers I do listen
I know not why the stars
in the sky brightly glisten



I know not why
some hearts are allowed to fly
I know not why
some never soar the sky



I know not why
some doors remain closed
I know not why
for some love is always opposed



I know not why
upon the shelf must be home
I know not why
some are destined to be alone



I know not why
what is given is not received
I know not why
heart ache must be conceived



I know not why
some must lie
I know not why
Love has to die



I know what I yearn
I will never again feel
For what is received
is never real



I know not why
some have an easy road to trod
But I do know
All things rest in the hands of God

Enigma
Dream of the Dolphin


Lyrics
In every colour there's the light.
In every stone sleeps a crystal.
Remember the Shaman, when he used to say:
'Man is the dream of the dolphin'

We all wonder why from time to time
If we just knew the future/ bigger picture
We would know what door to open and which door to lock
Life is like eating a green apple,
you don't know for sure it is bitter until you take a bite
At that point one Wonder's, why did I do that
I enjoyed as always Ray { Not a Poet }

Wonderful write, great flow and rhyme. Love the picture. Such saddness comes from the words written. One can only hope "real" love will always be behind the next door when it is needed. The second and third paragraphs as well as the last were deeply felt, I know what they say, what they mean, what they feel like. Your words are true and honest. congrats on another great write. ;)
