Why

WHY
Staring out his window, he sees only gray
Wondering, wondering, wishing and praying
Hoping the answer is there somewhere, he is desperate
Knowing his heart is true but forbidden, tears begin to flow   

He knows what his soul tells him, but he is unable to listen
His heart silenced by fear, his world empty without him
Unsure what to do, where to go, his pain consumes him
Medicating his agony with a bottle and a pill, he dreams    

WHY seeps into his pores, draining his sanity

Surrounded by an ocean of colors a symphony of winged musicians fill the air
He can feel him, smell him and sense his heart is near
He reaches for him, arms stretched, he is close, but cannot be touched    
 He can hear him breathing, he can see his smile

His pain is now only an underscore to his joy
The Serenity of seeing him there disguises the truth, but he knows
Simply loving is not enough, his emotional destruction destined     

WHY questions his reason for living, leaving him numb

She looks at him, her world is safe now
His strength is her fortress protecting her
His Soul breathes life into hers But she cannot feel him, or touch him
Sensing his faith, she understands his God Her Savior is his but no one hears, no one cares

Loyal to one belief they muffle her voice, she is alone
She screams a silent scream for him to hear, but he does not    
WHY Rips into her, tearing at her, cursing at her  

She wonders why they cannot be one
Surrendering to her confusion She is deserted, alone and desolate
She searches for an answer that does no exist
Desperate for some truth that defines her conflict She is inconsolable, her misery incinerates her soul
Her resolve decimated by the attack, she surrenders She cries a final cry, smiles and begins to pray    

WHY embraces her, teasing her one last time

Shovel in hand, The Digger's journey is complete
Looking at her trying to find an answer, it is not there Looking at him, hoping for a reason, there is none
Wiping the dirt from his hands, The Digger moves slowly toward his next design

WHY smiles a victorious smile and moves on to another
