Soldier

Bouts of melancholy
Come to me
From time to time
I ponder life’s
Most powerful question
Why?

Some questions should remain
Unanswered, however needed
Like why is the sky blue?
I could answer scientifically
Or make up some answer nimbly
About something being opaque
But the answer should be
Because it is
Some answers are unattainable
And we need to agree
There is no answer
Before we move on
To acceptance of what
We cannot change
What will be
Will be

We soldier on.
