The Answer

Things are moving in a different direction now

There it was

right there 

in front of me.

Life.

Perfect

and precious 

quiet

and still

filling its lungs with its very first breaths,

feeling its way through life

with its tiny new fingers.

And there came

every answer to every question

I was waiting to be answered.

Better still,

there was a silence -

I can't remember the last time I ever noticed

such a wonderful silence.

Never have i ever felt

such pride

such bliss

such purpose.

Never will I ever again ponder

what is it all about?

because I found my answer

when it lay there 

right in front of me

Life

If life is the question, 

life itself is the answer.

The answer

to our great question

is life.

is the title "The Answer"?
yes, Life...is full of questions and maybe we try too hard to understand it, to figure it all out exactly...but maybe the best thing is to accept it...life is what it is...and the answer is right in front of us..."just live it"!

Thanks for pointing that out! Yes the title is The Answer, perhaps we do all try too hard. It seems the people who ask the least questions may be some of the happiest. Thanks for your comments :)
