Purpose

Purpose

A Poem by Mark
"

The big question

"
And the Universe splintered 
Each piece of life, hungry.
Each piece wanting, yearning.

And some splinters were gifted
and damned with thought;
looking at night skies.

And these thoughts always
led to questions: 'WHY?' 'HOW'?
many and none were the answers.

And as the stars dimmed 
and the curtains were drawn,
Finally, purpose was discovered.

Slowly the splinters drew
back in to form the One;
and It started again.

Words are carefully calculated, not a single one a waste. :) You just took me to the universe of my own questions. Wisely written, Mark. Excellent!
