The Purpose

the purpose, in essence

defies all reason

devoid of logic

and in the absence of simplicity

beckons the resounding truth

somewhere amongst the shattered remnants 

of what once was

begins the infinite chasm of the unknown

where the lesson one soon learns

 is that some stones are better left unturned

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
