begin to end

How does one
Begin to end?
With waterfalls
Around the bend.

Should I be dancing
In the rain
Until the clouds
Run down the drain?

What will I do
When it stops
If I have soaked up
Every drop?

Should I gather it
In a cup
For later when
It's all used up?

Or slowly distance
From the fall,
Wait inside,
Watch from the window.

Oh, how does one
Begin to end?
Enjoy the rain
And wet and wind.

Try to make
Each moment last,
Knowing it will
Become the past.
