What Is It

Meant to be interpretated in many ways. Each line is seperate yet connected. What Is. It? The underlying question.

What is it to invent?
To seamlessly convey a message
Shall I break glass without a stone
Or preach without a blessing

What is to believe?
To mindlessly speak a lesson
Shall I answer without a cause
Or condemn without redemption

What is it to create?
To effortlessly predict a presage
Shall I paint without a subject
Or self diagnose without dissection

The answers to your queries never seem to walk up and knock on one's door...they waft along in some incandescent breeze and tempt capture by those truly hungry. Your friend in words, Pete

Wasted time and effort of a shallow person, I guess that is what it is. I liked this.

"What is to believe?

Shall I answer without a cause
Or condemn without redemption"

I feel people do this with no thought now-a-days.

Very interesting questions.

Very well written. I really liked the tone and message. The last line is very introspective and inspiring. Great poem!

A great work, but the above stanza really stood out for me, especially the last line. I love the questioning and almost doubtful nature of your work

Well done :)

Thank you! :))

Each line has so much behind it, especially 'or preach without a blessing', this line has me lost in thought..an amazing poem, so powerful.
