Why God? Poem by vaiah jones

People who depart once never come back.
Why God?

Time that flies once never comes back.
Why God?

Blossoms that droop once never bloom back.
Why God?

Leaves that wither once never spring back.
Why God?

Rivers that flow once never turn back.
Why God?

Smiles that vanish once never come back.
Why God?

Souls that perish once never breathe back.
Why God?

Hearts that stop once never throb back.
Why God?

Love that's lost once never swings back.
Why God?
