the reasons why

it’s like the color in the black and white photo

the tears following the laugh

the smile following the cry

the question that always comes back to why?

 

it’s the white rose in a field of red

the frog hopping with all the  toads

the cricket that cant chirp

and the bird that can’t fly

it’s all the reasons why

 

it’s the storm that’s not followed by rainbow

the thunder with no lighting

the act without a purpose

the words with no meaning

 

It’s the rain when the suns out

The snow on a summer’s day

The bitter chill of winter when springs well on its way

 

It’s the reflection in your eyes

The deep smile on your face

It’s the difference I see in you

that’s all there’s left to say
