WHY?

Why do we ask the question?
Why?
Why do we seek to understand?
Why?
Why do we delve into the mysteries
Of the world around us?
Why?
Why do we ponder the complexities
Of life and love and loss?
Why?
Why do we yearn for knowledge
For truth and meaning?
Why?
Perhaps we are simply curious creatures
With insatiable minds
Forever seeking
Forever questioning
Forever wondering
Why?
