I Wonder
There are so many wonders to ponder
The Great Mystery of Death,
The enigma of time
The vastness of the universe
It is said a trip of a thousand miles
starts with a single step
Yet the trip of eighty-odd years
ends with a final breath
Wouldn't it be glorious,
So know, somehow,
answers to things
never to be known to us?
The last day in the life of
the last dinosaur?
The creation of our vast oceans?
The last thing the last man
will come to know?
Where is my past?
Merely locked-up,
semi-preserved,
in my mind?
The exact total of all
the grains of sand on earth?
What was there before there
was a was?
Who's running his joint?
There will be a day when we
meet an alien race..
It's inevitable...
But when will it happen?
This train of questions
could go on forever...
But the answers, a far
more elusive thing
are they.
