    WHY?
    A white stone on green grass --
    Nature put it there.
    Do you know Why?

    Stars in the night sky --
    Nature put them there.
    Do you know Why?

    Living life here and now --
    Nature put you here.
    Do you know Why?

    Resting amongst these trees in the woods --
    Nature put me here.
    Do I know Why?

    Being the tree, being the sky, being the sun,
    Being myself.
    Once the question “Why” has been sacrificed
    Everything is known.

    I enjoyed this poem. I, too believe in destiny and that everything happens for a reason. I like it.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
