Why

Ever wondered why
The sky's so blue
Or the snow's so white
The clouds a beautiful colour
As day drifts in to night

Have you stopped to ponder
The passing of the hours
Sand slipping through your fingers
You can't hold on
Nothing lingers

Walk a little
Run some more
Do your duty
Complete your chore
Pause for breath
If there's a chance
There might not be
Time left to dance

Ever marvelled at
The colour of the sea
From teal to green to deepest blue
Is it just light reflecting
That's fooling you

Is light refracting
As it winds it's way to me
Confusing me somehow
Shaping everything
So I don't understand it now

Run a little
Then run again
'Till you feel
Every ache and pain
Pause for breath
If you dare
All you can touch
And taste is air
