Notes About The Poem

Beyond Our Kingdom

"all of us are on a journey and the answers are unspoken" 
                                                                            By Contance La France

     
     Fluttering as leaves in the air, 
as birds flying to a destiny. 
We are amazed, we have joy. 
We look at the sky above us, 
beyond our kingdom
but answers don't fall down.

      As particles we float in the space.
 On an unknown journey,
 for everyone to discover.
 No answers will be shared.
 No answers will be revealed.

      Difficult to find out.
 Impossibe to know.
 Sometimes it's better to see
 the light every morning,
 to find out what makes us happy,
 instead to wonder about.
 
     We live in a glory kingdom,
that we don't appreciate. 
We are making a journey, 
we've never asked for.
But we are on this journey.

      Many lie down on a bed of roses,
 Many others on a bed of thorns.
 Sometimes people that sleep in a sleeping bag,
 are happier than the ones that sleep on a golden bed.

      Questions will be made all of the time,
 for answers that will never be replied in our kingdom.
 Perhaps beyond our kingdom,
 all the answers will be supplied.
 Meanwhile, I prefer not to be waiting for the unspoken,
 because everything can be spoken in the journey of our life.
