Why do some appeal to us and some don’t?

Why do some not want to be friends?

Why do we make journeys to certain places and not others?

Why do we make up our minds only for certain ends?

Why are we born in particular families and not in others?

Why do some of us decide to go to the same schools?

Why do two of us come so close as to get married,

Even if that means defying society and its rules?

Is it because the One who made us made us with certain plans?

Is it some deep bonding or conflict of an earlier birth,

That pulls us together or away  and forces us

To follow some pattern while we stay on earth?

Who knows what the reasons for our choices,

Who knows why we are repelled or drawn?

These are matters the mind knows not,

For them the soul needs to be drawn upon.
