A Question Poem by David Taylor

A Question

Rating: 5.0


A careful consideration of all things.
A weighing in the balance of experience.
A remembrance of treasured words received.
And from a discordance of events
a gem arises hewn of discontent,
It is a question heaven sent.

Containing all that went before.
And asking that, perhaps there might be more?
Limitless in its pure intent.
Is there any answer
that can match the scope,
of a question that the heavens wrote?

A poem with just enough 'meat' to make the reader think. And that's how it should be. I found it quite ethereal and mysterious. Love, Fran xx

This asks a lot of questions or rather raises a lot of questions in the reader's mind! A lovely introduction to your work David. HG: -) x

David, questions upon questions. Answers seem as distant as mountains that we all want to climb at time. Lovely rhythm to this poem. Just glided along. I loved it. David
