Have you ever stared to the sky
as the sun sank wondering why
we’re so alone amidst this world.

Have you ever watched as leaves twirled,
laughing as they danced, on the breeze;
their whimsical fall from the trees.

Have you ever lain in a tree’s shade
questioning choices that you’ve made,
forgetting time as hours pass.

Have you walked across lush green grass
admiring a silken rose,
but to get mud upon your clothes.

Have you looked to the faint starlight
in awe as their grace fills the night,
but feel more like the waning moon.

Have you held someone leaving soon,
wanting to save them from all harm,
and yet awake to empty arms.

Have you ever stared into the sky
feeling autumn’s breath as you close your eyes.

Have you dreamed of what life could be,
only for those dreams to be lost at sea.

Have basked within dawn’s first light,
overcoming the solitude of night.

Have you ever asked the world why,
only to receive a dismissive sigh.

Like this question, long overdue,
many things can arise in life. Have you?
