Questioning Poems - Poems about Questioning

To Ponder or Not to Ponder
To ponder or not to ponder - that is the question. Is it a waste of my precious seconds, minutes, hours To dwell on the questions that plague my mind? I spend my waking and waning hours mulling and considering, Crashing waves of question marks and possibilities Dance around in my mind's eye, quelling the beast of sleep. A skeptical girl's...

Light: A Spiritual Interdisciplinary Inquiry
When God said “Let there be light” Was it meant literally or metaphorically? Did time arise crafting the photon with the intent of illuminating the basis of reality? An observational lens providing the closest assumption of truth? Or did the limit of human consciousness take precedence. Therefore, implying we needed to be saved from the void of ignorance, as light is the transference...

Why
I am scared, Totally confused I fear the worst  Of the world this time. Why did this happen? Why oh why to him? My sweet baby brother. So young is he, I cannot understand Why this does happen. While muscles may grow And the heart beats harder, Too hard, it beats. Trouble has started. I wish that this would end. So young is he, To put up with this life. Too full...

The Weight of Shadows
Free falling into chaos always seemed like child's play to me, something so natural to descend into I could call it breathing. To allow those inky, black tendrils to seep into every pore, every mark, every imperfection. I called to it like a master, of my own darkness, my own death. I willed it at my command, and...

Companionship or romance, what's the difference? Is it through death that we depart? But even friends share that remark. Is it dinner with a view? But with friends I'd still pursue. Is it the coffee shop or show? But with friends I often go. Is it through language that we flow? But my partners have no difference. What's the difference? Could it only be emotion? That...

Premium Member Doubts
Doubts are always hiding/ Inside each of us/ Life is hard/ We will never be rid of it/ Lurking in the back of the mind/ In dormant mode/ Only to be shot forth/ Like a bullet/ To keep assaulting one's mind/ It's hard not to doubt/ With the world we live in/ More people getting more shady/ Everybody leading us to trust issues/ I hate doubting someone/ I guess...

Premium Member Questioning my presence, seeking a love to embroil
The moon rises high, casting its pale light, Yet my soul remains shrouded in endless night I toss and turn, unable to find respite, Its memory lingers, my constant despot Savage feelings leave me in full dread, Haunting; my mind, refusing to depart Its presence, a constant in my head, Consuming my thoughts, tearing me apart Tossing and turning, sleep evades my bed, What...

Premium Member Questioning
The Lord asks, “Where are you, O Man?” “Come into my bosom, hold onto my right hand.” Yet our hearts so cloaked in unbelief We see and hear, but don't perceive Instead, we look around for an excuse That His call, His rule, we may refuse This groaning world, steeped in deep sorrow So Him we deny, that in grief we may...

Premium Member Questioning the Stranger
are you a time traveler from the future or from the past? He stared at me. You guess, he said. I guessed from the future. He nodded. Why had he told me? What was the goal? He was a stranger. I began to walk away. He reached out and touched my arm. Don’t you want to know your great-great-great-grandson? He asked me. I sat on a...

The Interview
Why do we start with ideas, the seeds of human might? To shape our destinies, to make our futures bright. But how do we turn those ideas into a path so clear? With goals and purpose guiding us, dispelling every fear. Are these lessons taught in schools, to each and every one? Or do we let them wander, until their...
