Questions How do mountains form from lava How do streams flow to the sea I don’t know. These natural forces Certainly weren’t designed by me How do birds find their direction How do flowers know when to bloom I don’t know, the earth must whisper Springtime schedules, I assume What makes rainbows disappear Before I had a chance to dream I don’t know, I think perhaps It is a part of nature’s scheme Who cuts out the crystal snowflakes Who makes full moons come and go I don’t know, but I believe That everything was planned just so Why does sunset thrill my spirit Why so beautiful the dove Why do I have all these questions Could it be that I’m in love Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 08-01-2000).] |

What makes faces smile and others cry What makes hearts flutter and birds fly What makes sun rise and then later set What makes one rich and another poverty's pet Why do I ask questions causing strife Why do these questions haunt me so Why can't I just live out my life Why can't I just let questions go ...... Liz, The only answer I have always found is that questions of intrgue, passion, love, life, death, tragedy,... are the ones that keep evolution going... Things have to move from one stage to another and the questions are what help them in direction... ( sudhir, stop that chatter....) Sorry, got carried away... Liz, This is a beautiful poem... and I can feel with you on this subject too... regards, sudhir [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 08-01-2000).] |

Liz, I too often wonder who sits and cuts all those snowflakes out and what do they think about when they're doing it....*g* HUSG "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." |

and why is a poet named Elizabeth Santos able to express the questions with such perfect thought? [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 08-01-2000).] |

Liz, Nice poem! Everything seems so wonderful when one's in love eh? ^_^... it's very inspirational - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
