Array ( [sid] => 23730 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => What is life? [time] => 2003-09-24 07:35:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => What is life, what is our role

Upon this earth what purpose have we ?

Many paths can a journey take

Not knowing, uncertain we tread

Waiting for the light to lead the way.

In shadows we search for our fate

Sometimes we stumble and fall

Hesitating, unsure how to proceed

Do we stay in the safety of where we stand

or move forward into the unknown?

If we call out no-one will hear

There are many answers to the questions we ask

Uneasy we stop , turn and look back

Everything that has gone before laid out in front of our eyes

Little boxes of the past where we no longer need to look

Hope and fear shout to us with equal voice

Stretch out their hands to us, beckon us close

Each step leaves new footprints on the virgin ground

We cannot turn around , we must walk on

Deeper into the dark

Eyes searching for what we cannot hope to see

Time at our shoulder hurries us on

Destiny waits, his secrets to reveal

When the journey ends we cannot hope to know

We travel on , it is our quest

Always to the light...............always.........to the light.

So true..... a bit sad but reality.
Great writing as your norm.
