Life Questions
Life Questions
Are we aware or conscious of our being
As present, past, and future we are seeing?
Does anyone know why we are here?
Did we come to work, to wonder, to cheer?
What deeds do we have to fulfill?
Are we here to learn a new skill?
Do we know all about the visible,
Our surroundings and the invisible?
The atmosphere abounds with life;
With many theories the world is rife.
We are so immersed in our thought and feeling
That many do not know where to look for healing
Certain feelings can make us suffer,
Others make us strong and tougher
There are feelings that make us gracious
Others make us miserable or generous
Feelings can entirely change our belief
Others bring us unexpected relief
Take us from one to the another extreme
Make us plunge into the world of dream
There are millions of different feelings
Some make us sick, others bring us healing
Feelings create different states in our soul
Can spread this state to humanity as a whole
Are we aware of our sacred human duty,
Which can enhance our life and our beauty?
Our highest dreams and our imagination
Can strengthen our feelings and our foundation.
And we should not let our feelings run wild
As to make us pure and innocent as a child
We have to carefully unite them in our heart
This will fulfill our life and elevate it to an art.
