Pondering the Mysteries

Sometimes when I am alone in the quiet of the early morning I ponder the great mysteries of the universe.  I am sure I am not the only one who does this.   In this fast paced, interconnected world, it’s easy to get lost in the noise.   I ran across this poem I wrote sometime last year that must have been penned during one of those quiet moments when the noise disappeared and I was left with my thoughts.  

In moments like these, 

Just before dawn

I wonder if I 

Am where I belong

If the life

That I live

Is what was meant for me

Is our fate sealed 

Or are we masters of our 

Own destiny?

How do we really know

At the end of the day

And why are we so

Afraid

Of the answer

We drift day to day

And wonder why we are disillusioned 

With life

With love

With ourselves

We live in our past

And shake hands

With our regrets

Everyday

As life swiftly passes by

And we search for the one thing

That will fill the empty place

Created by a longing

For something 

We didn't even know we needed.

~Peace, Tracy
