Poem Artwork


In this vast world we live in
Will we ever know
Is it fate or destiny
That holds us in its flow
Do the stars tell us how to act
Control the way we feel
Are we just puppets on a string
Not realizing what is real

In this vast world we live in
Will we ever know
The mysteries of life and death
Are what they will bestow
Is there a Heaven and a Hell
Are do we create our own
If life comes with instructions
Why aren't we ever shown

In this vast world we live in
Will we ever know
The magic of the universe
Or how the stars glow
Are the chapters of our lives
Already written down
Is there nothing we can do
To turn it all around

Does happiness and pain
Lay in our own hand
Is life of our own making
Help me to understand

Intriguing and it certainly does give us pause to think of these points. Wonderful poem! ::smilin:: jh

"Does happiness and pain lay in our own hand." This is a fraction and percentage question Linda. Life has its plans for us and we have our plans for ourselves. I won't quote a fraction to you but I will say this, I plan to have my happiness in my own hands as long as possible, that is until life throws me a devastating blow that really knocks me off track. My happiness doesn't come from everything going right, it comes from my fight. The fight I put up to overcome, adapt and improvise my life. In other words, I'm happy because I can deal effectively and keep myself out of trouble regardless of the circumstances. You poem was great to me, poetically and in meaning. GE
