Some tears roll rough
like bumpy worlds
of black-hole dust
in a galaxy of why?
.
But some fall smooth
like polished moons
that seek the light
in a universe of why not?

Beautiful sentiment. I love the simplicity of this poem and the challenge to see things from both a place that acknowledges confusion and a sense of being lost and a place of courage.
