purpose, the big question
that gives many indigestion
asking people about it
life goes on without it
swirls of stardust in the sky
on the ground the little i
storms in heavens brewing
what on earth are we doing
deep blue water sustains life
floating plastic debris rife
the horizon full of fires
burning all human desires
in the end what matters most
just before we turn to ghost
to cherish life as precious art
clear conscience loving heart
for the sake of peace
the battle has began
men in combat gear
deploy remote weapons
like any other day
the sun rose today
yet as it sets down
uncertainty fills the air
energy that moves
the economy at large
getting held at bay
instability likely
what if we ask
what is the benefit
of this conflict
for all humanity
as there is always
benefit in each drawback
no matter how hard
it may seem to find
trust the process of life
the stream of life on a highway of time
an unstoppable force always in flux
dire times challenge ingrained beliefs
for a distant carrot on a stick
wishing away the current struggle
unrelenting pursuit of happiness
meanwhile the fleeting moment dissipates
into the vastness of past memories
soon forgotten not forgiven
the regret always a close friend
sharing space with guilt and self pity
the trio asking for validation
graceful acceptance of self
on a threshold of a new era
feelings acknowledged
the pressure released
new life embraced
in the now
in search of assistance
with a rigid mirror
showing signs of
wear and tear
aging proceeds
without permission
bringing the gift of
squeaky knees
the fog on the glass
reflecting the youth
images showing
distant beauty
shattering bang!
the mirror in pieces
each one of them
the hologram of life
re-lived
