a life of meaning

Updated: Jul 18, 2023

Self //

What should I do with this short & wandering life?

What are the answers to the mysteries that haunt my thoughts in solitude?

God //

I have all the answers for you,

Would you like to know?


Or would knowing strip you of the wonder you feel when admiring the brilliance of the setting sun?

If you knew the answers, would you still gaze at the stars the way that you do, & ask yourself if there are others gazing back at you?

Would you still cast your spells & desires to the lonely moon at night, or would its magic & power become lost?

Would you still take a walk through an uncharted forest if you knew what the birds were going to sing? If you knew how the trees would dance?

Would you still climb a mountain to reach the view? Or would you be absent of all the curiosity that once drove you to the top?

Would you still stop to admire the rainbow holding the sky? If you already had the treasure that lay below it?

Would you travel to a country you've never been to before? If you already knew the smiles that would welcome you?

Would you talk to the stranger? If you already knew what they had to teach you?

Would your heart race, lips quiver, hands tremble, as you wait for the kiss of a lover? Or feel the twist in your gut when your eyes meet another?

Would you still cry when your heart is abandoned?

Would you value the embrace of your mother, brother or other? If you knew how long you had together?

Would you still say yes? Or would you no longer be crippled by the fear & excitement of proposals from the unknown?


If the curious spark that ignites your soul is the force that turns the galaxies;

Would you rather not set your spirit free?
