The Question

The Question

A Poem by Jeff Bresee
"

But also it boils down to choices...

"

Depression and heartache and yearning -

common throughout all the years,

general amongst all the masses,

driven by so many fears.

 

It’s truly the struggle of ages,

despite born of mansion or cave.

Is life the thing that you’re living,

or is it life that you crave?

 

It's tied to a question so simple -

just what do you live your life for?

Do you live to live in the moment,

or are you searching for more?

 

But also it boils down to choices,

just how you spend your free time.

And of opportunity, what do you take -

do you grab and try to align

the way that you're living with all that you want?

 

That's really the question you see.

The one that you'll spend your days looking back on... 

throughout all eternity.
