~~~ Does Anybody Know ~~~

Where do the ripples on the water go,
Does anybody know,
Do they go underground, without a single sound.

Where do the rays of the sun go,
Does anybody know,
Do they lie upon the ground, just lazing all around.

Where do the breezes carried on the wind go,
Does anybody know,
Do they sit above the trees to blow with perfect ease.

Where do the drops that make the rain go,
Does anybody know,
Do they float down to be part of the shifting sea.

Where do the grains of rock and sand go,
Does anybody know,
Do they blow upon the restless wind not to rescind.

Where do lovers go when love is gone,
Does anybody know,
Do they part when they break a lover's heart.

Where do hearts with waning love go,
Does anybody know,
Do they become a token who's loving has been broken.

Where do our souls just disappear or revive,
Does anybody know,
Do they fly up in the sky when our bodies die.

What is left when there is nothing left to be,
Does anybody know,
Do we become just air and nothing else is there.

Does any body know, does anybody care?
