Life

There are things in this world

that we can't explain.

Like a heartless soul,

or a nameless name.

There are things we do

and we don't know why.

There's a spark of life

then we flounder, and die.

There are mysteries

that we see and hear;

a windowless room

a pulse of fear.

There are times we think-

and times we don't.

Times we will-

and times we won't.

There are times in life

that come and go.

That make you wonder

and wish to know.

There are things in this life

that we can't explain.

But that doesn't stop us

Just the same.

So very true!!!!!! Human nature is always begging us, through our curiousity, to explain the unexplainable. That's why the Alchemists were formed and science itself. We drive ourselves to search for answers like we drive ourselfs to find someone to blame when something goes wrong. This is great work my friend!!!

Really makes you think. I like it. I'm not a fan of rhyming but you've used it well here.

Cool rhyme scheme, and thoughtful concept... the unexplainable mysteries of life, and the even more mysterious question of why some people do the things they do....
Nice write!

Not bad - you've managed to hit right on that upper limit of brevity for a poem that makes it not quite too long-winded and not too short. Your concept is nice but there's a few lines which don't quite ring true. Perhaps you might add a dash to the end of line 13, just to make it match the lines below it. Well done.
