Why

Why  must the sun set Why must the moon rise?

Why when we are hurt tears flow from our eyes?

Why  do we laugh when we are happy  and cry when we are sad?

Why do we scream and shout  and say things when we are mad?

Why do we feel love why do we feel pain?

Why do we  talk about the weather  when it sunny or  when it starts rain?

Why do we  have to live why do we have to die? 

Why is it that we are buried on earth but like the moon we end up in the sky.?

These short questions are open to long discussion. I am ruminating as I read.
