I Wonder

I wonder…

Why do stars twinkle?

Why do stars shine?

What is more ethereal?

A swarm of butterflies

that shimmer and preen?

Or the sun that shines through the rain…

That bit of warmth through the chilly droplets

What ebbs away faster?

Those hues of a rainbow

Or a man’s happiness

I wonder…

I wonder why I wonder
