Chapter 1 - Wonderings

Ever seen the star so bright,
and yet still wonder why,
deep as pitch the dark of night,
it shines even the brighter?

Ever seen tears that flow,
endlessly in grief,
yet joy in whose face's glow,
even laughter could not give?

Ever alone did you feel,
and that none care for you,
but in those dark times, peeled
gems of hearts so true?

Ever see a life whose beauty,
inspire poets-such as us,
and yet beyond that one can be,
marred by mortal frails?

Ever wonder why we wonder,
those whose questions bloomed,
as time goes on never the lesser,
and get in loads of trouble!

All these wonderings-more to come,
they divert the mind from sorrows,
it may be troublesome,
but to me-it makes life the better!
