TELL ME WHY
the branches grow here
and the seeds fall to the earth and
the wind blows across the land
and the rain just falls everywhere
and makes the seeds
grow
so tell me why the branches grow
and why the seeds fall
so tell me why the wind blows across the land
and why the rain falls everywhere
and why the seeds grow
ha I say
I, foolish one, knave, a gnome in the kings land
ha I say to the riddles my mind makes for me
to the why’s without what for’s
ha I say
this night of wind and moonlight

David Michael Jackson
