HAVE YOU EVER

poem by: Ja Ja
Written on Sep 17, 2017

Have you ever seen a light
Streaking through the sky
Imagined it was someone’s life
That just came streaming by

And when the light had faded
Did it make you question why
We were put, on this earth
And then left here to die

Did you ever see a lightning strike
Felt the tremors from its thunder
Imagined it had pierced a heart
And ripped it all asunder

For such a force to manifest
Did it set your mind to wonder
Was our life here, meant to be
Or was it, just a blunder

Did you ever see a rainbow
Marvel at its beauty arching high
Realized, that life’s worth living
Even without, the reason why
