Where Echoes Hide

I asked the wind from whence it blew And where it now was going to The wind's reply was just a sigh As through the trees it went whooshing by I asked the rain from whence it came And if it called the clouds by name The rain's reply was just a plop As puddles formed with each raindrop I asked the river if it knew Why to sea it must flow to The river's reply was just a gush As to the sea its waters rushed I asked the thunder if it could decide What sound to make when atoms collide The thunder's reply was amplified As in the clouds its echoes hide
