Another original work - I Often Wonder

I OFTEN WONDER

 

So lately I’ve been thinking of the infinite notions of life,

Of countless thoughts to ponder, words to speak, and deeds to do,

I hope you will allow me to reflect on these thoughts aloud,

Perhaps you may relate and also consider them true.

 

I often wonder why we go to war,

Is it because we are striving for something we cannot achieve?

Yet even after all the lessons that have been learnt in time,

Through the hearts of our brothers and sisters we continue to grieve.

 

I often wonder why love can hurt so much,

Romantic raptures entrenched in many a soul,

Around the globe we travel, at times a journey of despair,

Yet still it remains our lifelong goal.

 

I often wonder about the phenomenon of time and tide,

The events of yesteryear now safe in books of history,

Are the calming waters of today a sign of the magnitude of tomorrow,

Or do they flow shrouded by waves of mystery?

 

I often wonder about the vast glow of nature’s beauty,

From the humming birds that take flight into a far away sky,

To the golden fish that swim beneath the current of the seas,

Each with a unique story to tell as their life’s journey passes by.

 

I often wonder which person inspires me most from day to day,

Were they a treasured family member? Or a beautiful long lost friend from far away?

Whoever and wherever you are, I know you will always be near,

To remain close by my side come what may.

 

I often wonder which path in the forest to travel by,

As I quietly stop to ponder where it will lead,

It may lure me down a trail unknown, or into beckoning fields of temptation,

Yet only I can determine the one true destination that lies on the road ahead.

 

So now I have thought aloud the infinite notions of life,

And of the many challenges and choices it has placed before me,

I hope that in time, I can somehow learn to understand them all,

Keeping the wisdom, hope and courage to pursue whatever shall be.
