Enigma
What is this world, if not an illusion?
Some grand orchestra of elements in fusion?
A kaleidoscope of colours crystalline clear?
A distant echo of faraway near?
Or the winds of fortune sweeping through time,
An enigmatic power without reason or rhyme?
What impalpable air hangs heavily here,
In light of the sun, an illumined sphere?
What mesmeric magic hides closed in the seed,
That it morphs from the sapling to the tree with such speed?
What lies beyond the precipice?
A wider dawn, or infinite abyss?
And what are we in this, I ask!?
But truth smiles, ironic, behind the mask.
Are we but flames of some famished fire;
A hunger compelled to something higher?
A folly created of Divine emanation:
A plague to his play since the dawn of creation?
Questions! Questions, do crowd the mind!
And at last we realize that we are truly blind.

deep thought and deep words
a true smile to you knowing what you are going through, because one day I was there with the same questions.
yet I did finally find the answer=Love when true -is like there is no darkness only absense in degrees of light, so it is with love-thanks David in amazing grace -to die for us when we were not even his friend=the ultimate in true love. that saved me John 3 repented and let Jesus into my heart and got true love from above with Jesus my savior and best friend.

It's a good poem, really.
I notice many examples of superficiality. but little else. You might provide alternatives to such a view of the world?

There was a lot of thought put into this. It's very creative. It's not the same old BORING BORING poem. I like it. I don't know what some of the words mean, but I like it. :)
