I Don't Understand

by Amita Amin

Look how the clouds soared over the mountains,
Where will they drench the land with their showers.

Look how the fragrance left the flowers,
Where will they spread their perfume now.

Look how the fireflies flew away,
Where will they shine their light now.

The night fell asleep again,
The darkness did not disperse.

The memories came again,
and cast a shadow all around.
I don't know why,
I don't understand.

Happiness became a dream,
our universe was lost.
My heart is dumbstruck,
my house has burned down.
I don't know why,
I don't understand.
