Life's Mystery

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
