Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

A Twinkle In the Sky

Are we more than just a twinkle in the sky
     More than a reflection of someone’s eye
Where to find meaning, an endless pursuit
     With so many thoughts, my mind can’t compute

Perhaps it’s best not to struggle in vain
     For what we don’t know, causing us pain
To accept and be grateful that we’re here today
     Let such contemplation just dwindle away

Daniel Turner June 15, 2017 at 7:40 PM Pretty profound, Mike. The struggle to overcome vanity is a lifelong endeavor. In the end, isn't that what it all boils down to, Vanity. To think that our life mattered. This poem could spark a real good philosophical debate. Mike Gentile June 15, 2017 at 8:51 PM Thank you Daniel, I do often think about that

Heidi Sands June 15, 2017 at 12:53 PM Back to say, I would like to save it as a favorite. :) Mike Gentile June 15, 2017 at 2:08 PM Thanks so much Heidi
