The Unknown
The Unknown
I wonder what there is beyond this brittle life,
Beyond this chaos, this turbulence, this strife,
The impenetrable future, the unknown I fear,
To step into the unfathomable, I do not dare.
Immortality of the soul may be a myth or a fact,
To analyse, or discern, the requisite wisdom I lack,
Helplessly I grope,then stagger, stumble and fall,
I dither, I falter, I come up against a blank wall.
The mystery lies beyond the curtain is ominously drawn,
It’s a terrifying reality, and a veritable curse to be born!
Must I part from the familiar, the ones I hold most dear,
When my ultimate destination is thus shrouded in fear?
