Thinking about Life

Thinking about Life

Hi dear friends and followers, I generally avoid posting anything negative, but I thought I could give this poem some light at the end of its tunnel. Thank you for visiting my blog, hope you enjoy it, thank you

Tragedy strikes

all around

where is God?

Not to be

found

Is there Heaven?

Is this Hell?

Are there no angels?

Who rings the bell?

These are questions

that we ask

but go unanswered

but never pass

As earthquakes swallow

tornados

kill

tsunamis destroy

all at will

Does nothing stop them?

Does evil rule?

Is life not precious?

Are we all fools?

The lives we live

the ones we love

our children dear

our mothers . . .

sons . . . .

And criminals roam

the streets at will

Who will be next?

Who will they kill?

And yet

And even in tragedy

life does go on

for you and me

And hope we will

no matter where

and pray that God

will still

be there

And protect us from

the bad around

Can harm be stopped?

Can life be sound?

For while we struggle

down life’s short path

still each of us

does hope

it lasts

And so we protect

all that is dear

and fall asleep

‘til next day

clear

My own experience and observations through the years have included many subtle feelings. Many of those feelings have been just outside of what I believe to be the perception of most people. And then I take into account the most advanced observations made by humanity and the universe seems to speak for itself.

Stars are born and they die, quite literally in a blaze of glory. What remains is thick clouds of dust and gasses, the nursery where new stars are born.

It is a constant recycling and transformation into varying densities of matter and gasses that eventually produce light. Nothing really dies. It merely changes forms.

Just like the stars, we are here to experience, to learn, and to

evolve.
