Questions

A Poem by Ren Grace

Questions

I ponder the way we live our lives


By asking myself questions I’ll never know the answer to


Like why the sun sets with a different beauty of when it rises


And where the memories of our dreams go after the first morning hour


How believing would ever correspond with seeing


And why time is the ultimate healer though our days are numbered


What past did the lady with the phony smile suffer?


And if tears come from our eyes why do they sting?


Why sun showers exist when clouds cast shadows


And if there are any more colors than the ones between the rainbow


Why did our first poem have to rhyme rather than speak the heart?


Why do we live if we inevitably die?


If all things come to an end, how did they start?


But why am I here when I could have been anywhere else.

We all have questions. This is a really good way of putting them into perspective

You have blown my mind and stirred up my old thoughts. I love this in so many ways. If we don't ask questions, we don't get answers and there are more questions than there are answers.

Who created the creator?

Or what created the elements to cause the Big Bang?

Where did it all start??

Awesome job! :)

All of us have unanswerable questions that we think up in our lifetime... I know for sure I do. I think it's just the mystery of life and what keeps us going... we need these mysteries to motivate us in finding the answers.

"Why did our first poem have to rhyme rather than speak the heart?" spot on! :) i love your questions .. every single one .. at my age i am very content having no questions ... not that i have found the answers but your poem reminds me that i cant say when my questions and thirsts were quenched ... i have my beliefs of course ... but that is a whole other realm, isnt it!?? :)
