Comment from Julcia
I do not just read your poetry once I read It 3 x out loud. Also, am a person
who meditates. and have utilized a word or phase of yours for that purpose,
Today I need r=tgo to your "time will tell". Gratefully, Julcia

Comment from dragonpoet
JLR,
This is a well written contemplative free verse. I like the repeating question. There is bueaty in life and we need to see it and flow with it.
The path is set for us to follow and we need to find our place on that path.
Live in the present and not just in the past or the future. All parts of life are important and one should not overpower the others.
I like the use of bold and italics to show the difference between what is happening in the world and in the mind.
Keep writng and stay healthly
Joan

What an intense, relatable piece you have delivered here, my friend. We all struggle with these issues, especially as we age. Human nature to worry I suppose. Thank you for sharing.
God bless!

Comment from Whitewave
JLR,
Maybe, only time will tell, but time is an illusion and , in some ways, so is life. I think your stanza about nature - (Sunrises, sunsets, bird songs, creeks babbling,) - has the answer. We are part of nature and the closer our connection to that world of Divine creativity, the closer we are to answering those questions about 'why am I here?'
(P.S.: A small typo in the 1st stanza -decern. It is correct later in your post as discern.)

White wave I have used the word decern and discern correctly as intended ( see author notes)
Is there a pattern I can decern? Decide; determine; decree.
Is there a pattern my heart can discern? Perceive or recognize

JLR,
Thank you for showing me my error and a new word.
Comment from harmony13
Excellent Poem! I identified with the author's poem. These
words are heartfelt, descriptive, clear, cause anxiety and are
creative. I pondered on these words and thought about my
recent post which refers to something similar. The artwork
is awesome!

I enjoyed reading your wandering thoughts JLR and the questions you ponder. I think your opening verse can apply to many of us. A lovely free verse, you've let tour thoughts free, and it's worked well. Enjoyed it.cheers

Only time will tell indeed. Reminds me of Enya's song, "Only time". Probably, you may want to consider converting this into a song. A very beautiful free verse this is. many thanks for sharing.

Comment from Wendy G
This is a very powerful and thought provoking poem, asking some of the most probing questions we are seeking answers for. It is a very imaginative format, and the repetition at the end is eloquent. Really well done. Thanks for sharing.

I think this poem is amazing. Outstanding. Exceptional. The last stanza,
"Only time will tell ....
only time will tell ...
only time will tell ..
only time will tell!"
is fantastic. I love the repetition.

A timeless question you address here. I think it is one we all ask. We don't come provided with instruction manuals to give us a clue. So we each search in our own way, hoping that mostly we have met the mark. A solid entry. I wish you the best.
