The Why

In the deep recesses of the mind,

The question lingers, undefined.

The why that haunts us in the night,

A puzzle wrapped in threads of light.

Why do we strive, why do we yearn,

For truths that we may never learn?

The why that pushes us to seek,

To delve into the answers deep.

It whispers softly in our ears,

A mystery that draws us near.

The why that fuels our deepest thought,

A journey that can never be bought.

We chase it through the winding maze,

Through doubts and fears and endless days.

The why that drives us to explore,

To seek the answers, to implore.

So let us ponder, let us wonder,

The why that tears our hearts asunder.

For in the quest for understanding,

We find the beauty in the landing.

The why that guides us on our way,

A beacon in the darkest day.

So let us embrace the mystery,

And revel in the why's history.
