Are we on the path to nowhere?
Promises fall by the way side,
But still we believe there is a place
Where angels take the worthy to reside.

Do we go somewhere when we die?
An eternal hell or heaven at the border?
No one exits this path standing,
We all get the tap on the shoulder.

Is the answer to death found in life?
Winter dies to spring and so returns once more;
The cycle of the seasons promenade
Along the path they have before.

Maybe when our breath has left its reservoir
We remain upon this field untraced
To contemplate the life we lived
And then we climb up to a higher place.

Maybe death is as it seems,
A nothingness belonging to nowhere,
No punishment or pleasure waits,
No rebirth to start again somewhere.

Archaic tales were written down
Of islands that won`t wash away,
And streets paved in gold
Beyond the path we walk today.

Path to Nowhere

Topic: Lifepoems

Are we on the path to nowhere?
Promises fall by the way side,
But still we believe there is a place
Where angels take the worthy to reside.

Do we go somewhere when we die?
An eternal hell or heaven at the border?
No one exits this path standing,
We all get the tap on the shoulder.

Is the answer to death found in life?
Winter dies to spring and so returns once more;
The cycle of the seasons promenade
Along the path they have before.

Maybe when our breath has left its reservoir
We remain upon this field untraced
To contemplate the life we lived
And then we climb up to a higher place.

Maybe death is as it seems,
A nothingness belonging to nowhere,
No punishment or pleasure waits,
No rebirth to start again somewhere.

Archaic tales were written down
Of islands that won`t wash away,
And streets paved in gold
Beyond the path we walk today.

Ah, the eternal question we cannot answer! As you point out, no one comes back to reveal the destination!
Perhaps we cannot rationalize that we will end. We had no control over our beginning either. We just, for a brief time, exist.
My favorite line is A NOTHINGNESS BELONGING TO NOWHERE. And the subliminal message may be to enjoy it while it lasts!
A thinking poets poem!

Jaye said what I was thinking
and you are so right
we all will get that tap on the shoulder

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
