    The grass's transparent dew raincoat
    Was torn as people walked along.
    The butterflies and that single goat
    Brought a tranquil; reminded a song.

    The nameless flower's identity
    Was forged by the honey it had.
    By dusk it will be gone. Its entry
    Was not long before. My God!

    I don't know why that dog is so
    Restless, though it goes nowhere.
    It roams, barks seldom, readily goes
    Behind any who show a bit of care.

    The brook that once was, also brings
    Questions so many, but who cares?
    Will see a building with many wings
    Housing some birds. Thats nothing rare.

    The day starts and soon the streets
    Are filled with people of all ages.
    Their footsteps remind that giddy beat
    I had when I stood in a few stages.

    In the end, I have that one question
    Which looms large; with it I lie.
    Nobody else asked you that question.
    Where were you, when I died?

    Life indeed is short.

    The one question answered not.

    Poem to ponder,RGS !

    While mine was on love of a poet and about breaking the myth that one knows everything after death, yours is more philosophical, @PavithraS. Reminded me of that eternal question - Who am I?
    Thanks for your quick and introspective feedback. -rgs
