The Meaning of Life
Folder:
Life If,
right now,
I was asked,
What is the meaning of life?
My answer would be simple:
Life has no meaning
I say this as,
without such things as love,
or heartache,
or fear,
or pride,
or hope,
or desire,
or woe,
Life would be without meaning.
On its own,
Life is simply a four letter word,
without sense or meaning,
But it is such things as love
which gives life signficance
ultimately creating
The meaning of life.
I Asked Life What It Meant
She shook her hair back off huge shoulders
and eyed me like I was a danger to humanity
then she pulled out lipstick and refreshed
her mouth in the event that Mr. Life
came by for a sip.
.
Who and what and how did not matter
it seemed as she pulled out this enormous
pearl handled comb and set to grooming
the world for her arrival. Like a star
a really big star, bigger than Sol, she
was brilliant acting like that.
.
I spoke soflty without awe or passiveness
to get a clue, but she polished her toes
with death tones and left the earth tones
for nature, her distant nephew. Still,
in her aspect was the glimmer of total
responses - I am what the Gods left
behind when they passed through here
the last time.
.
I figured that was it. Or something
close. Life is God's footsteps,
the scraps left behind after the
last meal, not even an after thought,
just a piece of dandruff lost
or a hair released by a different
comb.
