Destination Unknown

Still l'm searching for explanation The deepest corners of my mind l roam With once again the same old question Is anything ever really setting stone Trying to form some sort of foundation Between mind and heart l can call home Perhaps though its still the realisation That this cast lm in lve not yet outgrown Or could it be that my only real limitation lm still too stuck within my comfort zone Whenever l am asked whats my destination It feels as of yet 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

I know l meant having no sense if direction even before world situaion this was taken from another poem called where do lgo from here was trying to be more abstract structer and form rather than content xx
