At Dawn

In the quiet, where shadows play,

I ponder life, in a fleeting day.

Why do I walk this earthly sphere?

What purpose holds me, drawing near?

Am I but a star in cosmic dance,

Or a fleeting moment, given chance?

With a heart that beats, and a mind that dreams,

I seek the truth in life's grand scheme.

Through cherished love and heartfelt tears,

I find my way through passing years.

Perhaps my quest, both far and clear,

Is simply to be, and to hold dear.

In twilight's glow, where whispers blend,

I chase the echoes, to comprehend.

With every step, through night and dawn,

I weave my tapestry, till I'm gone.

A Shadow With A Name

why do we chase the days ahead

when present moments go unsaid?

is this future our true aim or

just a phantom in life's frame?

we chase the sun, we build our dreams,

yet miss the moon's soft, silver beams.

is purpose found in what's to come or

in the heartbeats, where life's from?

in endless quests for what's in store,

do we forget what life is for?
