Unseen

Why am I here?

I've asked this question a million times

But as before the answer eludes

This restless mind ...



Am I here for a reason?

I drift in life like a fallen leaf

Who waveringly flows with the cruel stream,

It's crushed, the emerald beauty there was

Has long been turned to a faded grey.



Why do I breathe?

It's such an amazing feat

To be able to inhale air into my lungs

And expelling it again

It's like taking a part of the immense universe

In this insignificant body

Only to release it once more

Like we are unworthy of its magnificence.

But that's what make us exist ...



Why do I dream?

This life of restlessness seeks something

And with dreams that fade

I'll surely die unseen.



Can anyone see me?

I am right here ... I think.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

... i am ... an insignificant speck in the universe.

I can truly say that in this great vastness of what is "Unseen", you profoundly stand out. I too have often wondered about my own significance or as you put it, "insignificance". The mere fact that we are, and can pen such profoundly thoughtprovoking writings give us an air of meaning, however miniscule it is.

I enjoyed reading this a great deal.

Keep writing, Lil' Sis . . .
