Upon occasion, upward gaze
Reveals a cotton candy sky
Troubles simply melt away
As do the questions “why?”

Hello, Tim,
Ah, the simplicity of - simplicity. Looking in the right direction for peace. I struggle just a bit with the plural of "why" - I understand we ask that same questions all the time, but maybe there could be one universal "why?"

...As does the question "why?"

Would that take away your intent?

A simple write

That says so much...taking a step back...to enjoy the moment...all our troubles slip away...good job!
