My life is like a storm--
chaotic, without any purpose.
I struggle everyday
to weave meaning in
what I see.
Oftentimes, the sole comfort
harvested is that thought
that I am not alone.
Other souls, perhaps fumbling
as I am, may have
thought the same in their
unending search for solace.
My only hope that we--
humans as we all are--frail,
could sculpt enough strength
to understand life, however
unsuccessfully.
Perhaps this act of hoping
is the beginning.
But to what end?..
Destiny, with your smile,
may we all find out
before we lose what's left
of our humanity.

Sorry. Deep empathy for the maelstrom of emotions. But pretty in the awareness of united humanity all struggling in the same direction.

There is consolation in knowing that we are not alone, and others share our experiences. You did a superb job of expressing this and more!! Loved it!1

Sometimes simply being must sufice...hmm, you're right in accusing others of suffering in the same way...

Great depiction of how we struggle within ourselves for the answers to life's questions...
