What is the meaning of it all? If I told you, you’d surely bawl. Cry like a baby, yes you would, If all of truth you understood. Truth can be so enlightening, Also, can be quite frightening. For from the start, we’ve known it all. Our greatest challenge is recall. When recalled the truth is real, All empty spaces it will fill. We all were born from just one source, And are guided by the same force. From one source till our paths are done, And once again we all are one.

Hey Bill, nicely worded, especially loved the closing two lines, how true are they. Z

Most people reject truth in favor of what's popular or convenient. For example, Xmas is based on the lie that Jesus was born in December 25th. Easter purports to be about Christ, but it's pagan designation gives it away. I could go on but few will ever listen. Nice sonnet BB

I agree, Tommy. I give up trying to convince others of what I believe. Thanks for reading my poetry. Bill
