Why?
Is there a reason why we run this race of frantic schedules and obligations?




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Why? In a String of Senryu





Each day drives us down
Into our bottomless well,
But we do not see.

We think that we must.
We do not stop to wonder
Where we are going.

At times we notice
The carousel scenes twirling
As life ebbs and flows.

But, we never know
Why the whirlwinds take us down,
And so we go on.

The water chills bones;
The darkness betrays our souls,
But we do not cease.

Friends offer comfort;
Enemies sneer and heckle;
And our days grow short.

Love passes through us,
As we leave behind our genes,
Headfirst, going down.

And what will you find
At the bottom of your wells?

We hear you asking.

Wishes are hiding
At the base of every well,
Or so we've been told.

You keep repeating,
But they are bottomless wells.
We can't pause to chat.

“Swim deeper, faster,”
We restate our lifelong pledge.
And our dive goes on.
