Who sees the questions?
Delve into profound questions and the quest for balance with "Life’s Questions and Reflections." Discover the beauty in embracing life’s uncertainties through captivating poetry.
Life often leaves me questioning its deeper truths. Why am I here? What drives my choices? How do I navigate a world filled with expectations while holding onto my essence? These questions don’t seem to have easy answers, yet they guide so much of how I think and feel.
Through poetry, I’ve tried to explore these ideas, first reflecting on the mystery of existence and then questioning how we can find balance amidst life’s chaos.
Who has Answers
We came unasked, we’ll leave unknown,
A fleeting spark in time’s embrace.
What truths we seek, what seeds are sown,
Lie hidden deep in boundless space.
Do answers live in distant skies,
Or whispers lost to tides of sea?
Who sees the questions in our eyes?
Perhaps the truth is: Let it be.
Through this poem I attempt to capture the wonder and confusion of existence—the feeling of being part of something vast, beautiful, and incomprehensible. It often leaves me wondering: Am I asking the right questions, or are some things just beyond understanding?
Life’s mysteries may not always be solved, and perhaps that’s the point. But while I can accept the unknown, the challenge remains—how do I live fully and authentically without getting lost in overthinking or striving for perfection?
The next poem explores this idea by reflecting on how we can find balance—not by forcing things, but by letting life flow naturally.
Finding Balance
The smartest path is not to strive,
For trying hard to be so wise,
Can lead to troubles, deep and wide,
For someone smarter always lies.
The strongest thing is not to flex,
For strength can sometimes break the best,
The harder you try, the more you stress,
And life will put you to the test.
The charismatic way is not to force,
For charm cannot be measured out,
Trying too hard may flip the course,
And drown in pressure—full of doubt.
The humble heart must not pretend,
For anger, jealousy, make us human,
We’ve flaws that we cannot amend,
So label not, just be, and stand.
The living truth is not to chase,
A perfect life defined by others,
For beauty lives in every place,
Even in struggles, like no others.
Success’s charm can take its toll,
Its shine distracts the heart’s own flight,
For chasing goals may rob the soul,
So hold your truth, and tread the light.
This poem reflects on how the very things we chase can sometimes work against us. Wisdom, strength, charm, humility, and success are all admirable, but when pursued too hard, they can lead to stress, self-doubt, and even loss of self. Perhaps the answer lies in finding balance—in recognizing that flaws and imperfections are part of being human.
Closing Thoughts
These two poems reflect a journey—my journey—from questioning life’s ultimate purpose to grappling with how to live meaningfully in an imperfect world. They don’t provide definitive answers but instead invite introspection.
I’m beginning to see that the key may not be to force clarity where none exists but to embrace the flow of life and accept its uncertainties. After all, isn’t that where beauty truly lies?
What do you think? How do you approach life’s mysteries and the pursuit of balance? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
