existence
Amidst the swirling dance of life and death,
We search for purpose, reason to believe.
Why are we here, drawn by each fleeting breath,
Seeking the truth our restless souls perceive?
In this grand tapestry, a world so vast,
We strive to find our place, our destined role.
Yet as we wander, shadows soon are cast,
And mysteries of life begin to unfold.
For what's the point, if death awaits us all?
Does life hold meaning, purpose to be found?
In fragile moments, we may rise or fall,
In this fleeting existence, bound, unbound.
Though answers may elude, we journey on,
Embracing life's enigmas, till we're gone.
About this poem
life and death, the meaning of life, why are we here if we are just going to be forgotten?
