Reason

She said, "It's okay.

Everything happens

for a reason."

 

Everything happens

for a reason?

 

Everything happens,

every single thing,

because of a reason.

 

Because of a reason,

everything happens.

 

Because of.

Cause of.

 

The cause of

the happening

is the reason

for every

single

thing.

Oh em gee! *_* Your words are just incredible! Everything was so great, woven beautifully and energetically. I just fell in love with that last stanza:

"The cause of
the happening
is the reason
for every
single
thing."

I think I might make that my Facebook status one of these days! Excellent job!

Glad you enjoyed it. I listened to the song five times to get the sense of it.

[Emunah June.]

It's a good song, no? :3

[Dennis A. Clark]

I do like it. And I like the moments of subtle cheering, too.

Your last line reminds me of something Taylor Swift would put out to the media. Everything doesn't happen for a reason. Try telling my idiot evangelist relatives that. The more some people try to find a reason for a pointless cause, the more they choke themselves. Idiots don't get dummy. Great content!

I love this. You know how to play with your words. Good job! :)

blame the reason for ever single thing or blame every single thing with the reason.

I like reading your poems, gives some work to my mind.

Loved the word play. The various juxtapositions and they all work together to give it a whole new meaning every time! A clever poem!~

Thanks again, Divya. This one is different from my usual "concrete image" style. Every once in a while, I like to play with a "language" poem. Glad you enjoyed it.

[DIVYA]

you are welcome. Your poems are very effective in conveying a vivid picture!
