Enigma of Life

I couldn't decide what I wanted from my life and though i persevered hard to find an answer, all i managed to produce was a poem which got me no closer to my answer, but gave me further reason to beli

The greatest mystery ever known

The hardest one to solve

Is to know what one wants from life.

It hardly seems a task too hard

Yet it seems that hardly anyone succeeds.

Every now and then voices within

Taunts you with needs

Yet when one achieves

Voices subsides and new ones arise.

A young artless mind

As mine was long ago,felt that

Achieving one's dreams

Was the ultimate salvation one can get

But now a mind altered

By weathering through unmerciful life

Knows that there is no end

To dreams or carvings or the

Sickly feeling that one has

Wasted away the precious moments of life

You open the door to a long conversation.
"Knows that there is no end
To dreams or carvings or the
Sickly feeling that one has
Wasted away the precious moments of life"
I believe all effort. Success or failure. Are a good thing. We tried. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Great poem. I feel the same way. For me life is about living and doing what you enjoy. Then again there is also limits to how much you can do what you enjoy before it too fades.
"Taunts you with needs. Yet when one achieves, voices subsides and new ones arise."
Maybe all we can do is chase those voices if they truly give you happiness.

Why its the dreams that keep us going. That's why there is always another and another. Not waste....motivation.

To accomplish a dream is to make it happen...too much of our lives occurs by chance. Celebrate your achievements.

true but i always get the feeling that i am wasting precious time and all too often my dreams discourage me because of their distance from me :)

Yet another thoughtful and reflective poem. You beautifully express the turmoil that you are feeling and speak for many of us with similar storms.
