Answers
To the questions
That lie within.
Questions
Without answers
Again and again.

If I were wiser
Could I begin?
If I were taller
Could I see the answers
Near the end?

I’ve asked
Older men
Where the answers begin.
Surely they jest
In saying
“The questions
Never end.”

If I were smaller
Could I peer within?
If I were bolder
Would the answers descend?

If, when, where,
Oh yeah, and why?
Are we born
Only to die?

Questions
Without answers.
Where do I begin?
All of life
Searching the souls of men.

Do the answers
Lie within?

==================

Quite a thought provoking deep read......
The haunting questions seem to have no end and we seem forever in search for the answers
.........perhaps they are within....

Such Wisdom Daniel.....thank you for sharing this ......and I hope to read more of your works....

***********************

It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

{{to cross a sea of wonder, and hold close at heart all dreams}}
