Questions Poem by Bob Blackwell

Questions

Rating: 4.8


Most of life’s
a moan, a cry,
a laugh, a fear,
a need, a want,
then maybe just
a little prayer.

But its our thoughts
that become a nuisance,
while the world just
comes and goes;
trouble too those words
that come, then go
to only come again.

Then those
reflective moments
bring many questions.

Why?
Who made?
What for?
What next?
Where to?

It is in stillness,
at peace,
in a silence wrapped up in birdsongs,
the questions go
and we realise
why, who made, what for,
next, where to;
do not need an answer,
because happiness is Now.

You have summed up well the questions that are asked time and again. The answers are often found in our still and silent times, and always in the NOW. Bless you Bob for this fine piece. fondly from Fay.

live the Life here peacefully and leave the rest to Him...the poem captioned ‘questions’ though, comes out with a splendid answer for doubts on practical living in this word 10
