I Ponder

I sit in the darkness

And ponder about life

How mine has turned out

I've had my share of fun

I've had my share of pain

On this Earthly plane,

In another dimension I wish to go

But how far do I have to travel

To truly know,

If my existence was worth

What they say

I guess I will know

On my final day,

And after all I have been through

It just can't seem

To come soon enough,

However I don't want to feel

Like my life has been wasted

At least one more happy moment

I would like to cherish

Before I pass into the ages.

Kind of a rhetorical question...
Apparently the answers to the questions in poem is hard to find...

But anyway, my favorite lines:
"I've had my share of fun
I've had my share of pain
On this Earthly plane,"
That's really true... My teacher used to say that life is like a movie... Everyone has their own role to play...

"However I don't want to feel
Like my life has been wasted
At least one more happy moment
I would like to cherish
Before I pass into the ages."
Sounds like a swan song for me...

Nice poem..

A lot has been sacrificed so you can be, can be where you are today, so do yourself proud smile slurping that chocolate double malt,dripping down your chin.

I do a lot of pondering. Lead me to good and bad places. I believe good to know what you need and try to be content with what you have.
"However I don't want to feel
Like my life has been wasted'
I believe the good deeds of a life are what we leave. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
