In the quiet whispers of the night
Lies the question of our plight
What is the meaning, what is the call
In this vast universe, where do we fall
Suffering, a shadow that walks beside
Yet in its depths, where does hope reside
Is it a teacher, a guide in disguise
Or merely a storm in life's endless skies
Purpose, a beacon, a light to find
In the tapestry of life, how is it defined
Is it in the laughter, the tears we shed
Or in the dreams that dance in our head
Life's meaning, a puzzle, a song unsung
In the hearts of the old, in the souls of the young
Is it in the love we give and receive
Or in the stories we choose to believe
Suffering, a river, a path we tread
In its currents, are we lost or led
Does it carve us, shape us anew
Or is it a mirror reflecting what's true
Purpose, a compass, a star to chase
In the journey of life, where do we place
Is it in the moments we cherish and hold
Or in the courage to be bold
Life's meaning, a dance, a fleeting glance
In the rhythm of time, do we take a chance
Is it in the silence, the spaces between
Or in the beauty of the unseen
Suffering, a fire, a forge of the soul
In its flames, do we find our role
Is it a burden, a weight to bear
Or a gift that teaches us to care
Purpose, a whisper, a gentle call
In the tapestry of life, do we stand tall
Is it in the dreams we dare to dream
Or in the love that flows like a stream
Life's meaning, a journey, a path untold
In the stories we live, in the courage we hold
Is it in the questions we dare to ask
Or in the light that breaks through the mask
Suffering, a shadow, a dance with grace
In its embrace, do we find our place
Is it a challenge, a test of will
Or a chance to grow, to be still
Purpose, a melody, a song of the heart
In the symphony of life, do we play our part
Is it in the connections we weave and mend
Or in the love that knows no end
Life's meaning, a mystery, a quest to explore
In the depths of our being, do we find more
Is it in the journey, the steps we take
Or in the dreams we dare to awake
Suffering, a teacher, a lesson in disguise
In its presence, do we rise
Is it a path to wisdom, a guide to see
Or a reminder of what it means to be free
Purpose, a light, a beacon in the night
In the darkness, do we find our sight
Is it in the love we give and receive
Or in the stories we choose to believe
Life's meaning, a dance, a song unsung
In the hearts of the old, in the souls of the young
Is it in the laughter, the tears we shed
Or in the dreams that dance in our head
In the dance of life's enigma, we find our way
In the questions we ask, in the roles we play
For in the journey of life, we are never alone
In the search for meaning, we find our own
