The question, What is the meaning of life? has been asked by billions of people over thousands of years. Waht is the truth? is it a SACRED SECRET?

I opened a door and saw a magnificent being. It's hard to describe just what I was seeing. I checked me surroundings, I was very unsure, A pleasant adventure or fanatical tour. A fascinating sparkle inside of her eyes. I asked myself the question why? Where had she been? What had she done? Who is this being? And where is she from? She said, I can't take it with me. I must leave it behind. I'm passing it on to you at this time. Passing what? I was poised to ask. At that very same moment a magnificent flash. Then it hit me. I was momentarily blind, I was blown off my feet and on my behind. What was that sparkle, inside of her eyes? And what was passed on without saying good bye? 07222017

Neat poem. So many questions, not any answers. I guess that's the secret part. You are keeping this idiot in suspense. How? What? Who? Why? Where? The poem makes me want to know more :)
