Puddles


rain falls into puddles
it never fails
but whence does it fall
and why...  
puddles never form lakes
lakes never form oceans
but rivers feed both,
and we wonder why...
dogs and cats play
in puddles,
as do children, and
parents wonder why...
as do we all
sometimes...
but why...
rain falls into puddles
it never fails
and from the sky
it comes but not like
the sideways wind
or the rolling stones
that made the roads
on which we travel...
never once do we
wonder why...
when it comes our
time to die.
