The Question

While walking in the woods one day

I sat upon a rock to pray

whispering softly in the stillness

Great Spirit, hear me if you will

 

As I gaze upon my path

remembering the days I have lived

did I follow your chosen one

do I have more to give

 

Did I help those in need

and talk kindly of my brother

or did I scoff at your deed

to live without a bother

 

 

Author's Note

I found this in one of my note books from a ways back. It doesn't feel like it is finished, but I'm not sure where it wants to go, yet.

I can feel this write from your soul. I know the question here still in search of an answer as well, I enjoyed this write.

To me, this poem is about wondering if you lived your life the way it was supposed to be lived. I think this is something most people think about every day and it's a question that SHOULD be asked every day. Self-reflection is a great way to examine your life and see if you're going in the right direction, making the most of your life. You say it feels like it isn't finished, but I think it's excellent as is.

Some interesting questions come up in this write. Sometimes unfinished is just the way the poem should stay. I really enjoyed it, thank you. :)
