There Are No Answers Poem by Rodney Sykes

God has no answers
I was made in His image
Drawn from the clay of earth
Shaped by the sorrows of others
And the weight of what I feel

In my life, I hide
Secrets even I cannot read.
Travelling a road to nothing
I close my eyes to the world
And live in a dream of my own

I desire to shape my relevance
Though I know how little there is
In my life of uncertainty
As the past and obligations
Batter down my door

The essence of my soul
Remains a shadow in my life
Though I am surrounded by others,
Only loneliness sits beside me
An echo of my past
That no longer remembers my name
