Existential Poet

An existential poet sat on the beach and lifted up his hand
He saw himself in the universe as a grain of sand
His significance dissolving, he wondered what God planned

Gershon Wolf Date: 1/6/2020 8:28:00 PM Ooh! Bullseye, Carolyn. This really sums up man's insignificance in the grand scheme of things---unless there's a solid grounding in faith and an ongoing personal relationship with the One Who created it all--- a tall order for alienated modern man. Superb entry for the contest. Warm wishes, Gershon Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/12/2020 1:14:00 PM Congrats on a well-deserved win in the contest, Carolyn! :) gw

Chris Green Date: 1/6/2020 3:27:00 PM Wonderfully written Carolyn. I often feel this way and wonder what does it all mean and what is my purpose and often I feel that the ability to write is a curse, something I have been saddled with that leaves me feeling inadequate and lonely. Does any of it matter...sorry, I got a little carried away there. Your poem is gorgeous and I send you my best wishes in the contest. I am always amazed and inspired by your pen my friend.
