Question Mark
I think I am like this question mark
not knowing which way to go;
what is my spark?
Life can be confusing, tumbling,
and circling in my mind.
Never knowing what to find.
So when I see this question mark,
I see me.

Dear Shannon -
ReplyDeleteYou are right - sometimes life seems like one big question mark. I try to accept rather than understand. Glad you are here.

ReplyDeleteLife can be a "question mark" for all of us at times. No one has ever said the journey would be easy. Congratulations on a poem that states the challenges life brings us in such an artistic way.
