Questions Wander In A Stranger's Mind

 

 

                    

     My past is the ambiance

I breathe,

forever tattooed in the design

of memories.

The wind carries unwanted whispers

while I journey through the mazes in

my mind.

Have I made a mark in this world?

Do I have a purpose?

Why am I here?

Questions are like animations dancing in

rhythmical steps.

 

My present is my heart crying

to all the mistakes in an

uncomplete life.

Fragile teardrops has no answers

written with in.

The inner me travels to self-discovery,

and gets tangled in a web of....

Where do I belong?

Have I been a good influence?

Would I be missed if I left?

Questions are laughter reechoing

in the distance.

 

My future is vivid images evoking

before my eyes.

I wander inside myself

while I get lost in the emptiness.

The world is bleak as I fumble around

in the shadows of

my psyche.

Emotions are figures watching my every move

through the twilight zone

of my life.

Refrigerated by fear I realize one

question lingers in the air

leaving me paralyzed at

my reality.

Who am I?

Questions are like animations dancing in rhythmical steps.....Loved this line...beautiful poem

[Poetic Beauty]

These are many questions that we have throughout life. We may not know until the end of our days on this earth. This is worded uniquely and makes the reader think along with you.

Such a well strung set of words. It has depth. That is a clever tool these days that heighten a poem's power.

"Emotions are figures watching my every move

through the twilight zone

of my life."

I just need to find what needs to be finished.

Sincerely powerful, and everybody, whether 14 or 74 gets that wake-up call where they have to take a step back and look at their lives. "who am i" "where do i belong" and many questions will cross our minds. And this poem is just the thing to set someone on a road to self fiscovery. I truly admire your feeling. And I hope yo be able to achieve a wonderful piece such as this as my hand gets more and more practiced.
Bravo

We ask many questions in a long life.
"Have I made a mark in this world?
Do I have a purpose?
Why am I here?"
I learn with my grandchildren. I do have a purpose. Try to make their world a better place by trying to change people with my thoughts and hope. For the sake of all children. The poem is very powerful. Open the door to question and possibilities. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Thanks Coyote, hope some of these questions are answered in time in my life. To just know that I'm living the life my Lords has in store for me.
