DeStErNaTiOn UnKnOwN

Still l am searching for some explanation
      The deepest corners of my mind l now roam
       But not wanting to make any real reservasion
       I ask is anything ever really setting stone?

       I am trying to form some sort of foundation
       Between mind and heart that l can call home!
        Perhaps though now it is still the realisation
        That this mould l've not yet fully outgrown

       Or could it just be that my only real limitation
        l am still too stuck within my comfort zone
        Whenever l am asked what is my destination
        It feels as of yet though the great unknown


             Abstracts from poem 2007 where do l go from here

I, too, still feel as if I were a young person, still so unsure of my future. Maybe, we never really lose that feeling, no matter our age... This poem is wonderful, David, and really quite thought-provoking. So well done :)

It takes time to realize our dreams and our true destination dear poet. If we are lucky we find it along the way of self discovery. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me David. I hope to read more of your poetry in the future :P

You wrote an excellent poem David; we are always looking for guidance, but as we get older, we get persuaded that the straight route has always been the most reliable road. Thanks for visiting my page and commenting on my poem.

There is only one way to go. On the straight and narrow. One suffers in this world but achieves bliss in the next.

The age old question: Who Am I? What am I? WHY am I? The Bible tells us plainly that we are the creation of God The Father Almighty. Created because He wanted something to love and something that would love Him back. The only way that Satan can hurt God is to steal that which He loves. His best weapon of choice is UNBELIEF. My destination is I get to go sit at the feet of The Father. YeeHaaa! God Bless, JB
