Do we suppose to realize a meaning or keep rolling on without a clue...?


Poem Artwork

Do we have to wait till death,
To decipher the meaning of our existence,
From the next point in our travels,
Will we be told of a path of least resistance…?

From whence we came,
We know not, that being lame,
Between birth & death,
Our lives with each reincarnation are the same…

So in each life the meaning seems to us elude,
By negative forces we seem to be pursued,
Without knowledge to each time change our mood,
We live with what the gods did last to allude.

It is given to us in the words of the Lord. Just follow them.

Ah yes! Who am I? Why am I here? The eternal and weighty questions we all ask at some time in our lives. We can only hope the purpose we assign ourselves is in keeping with "The Plan."

While the subject is great for philosophers, theologians and poets to explore, when he gets right down to it, about the only thing we really have to worry about is this life.

And, the past is the past. It's what we do from here on out until we die that makes the difference, not thinking and writing about it, but doing nothing.

Great question in the first stanza, surely we are all waiting to find out. Enjoyed this one. The profound made simple. John

I believe we are all here to help each other along this road we call life and know that there's something more in each life we live. Maybe be one day there will be an answer. Cool write!

Love ya!

Questions without answers,
I just let slide by.
I try to be happy, happy, happy,
until the day I die.

Ahhh . . . Just grin and bear it, Ed, make happiness happen out of sheer will. I know that's what I'm going to do in my next life, I have learned how in this one when it was really much to late. I have too damn much garbage hanging on my shoulders.
