Journey of Life

Uncharted journey.

Uncharted journey

My life it be,

No mapped course

Mine eyes to see.

Blindly set sail

Explorer and more,

Hoping to find

What I’m living for.

Thoughts embedded

Tell I’ve been here before,

So, why again must I

Sail this shore?

Did I miss something

The last time around,

Or was I misguided

by myths that I found?

No path to follow

Direction unknown,

This search for the truth

Must be endured alone.

When my journey is over

I hope you will see,

My whole life was spent

Looking for me.

A great thought provoking poem. I would think that most, if not all people share some of these feelings.

The purpose of existence is to change our nature from completely egoistic to completely altruistic, in order to unite beyond the boundaries of ourselves, into One Man with One Heart, and receive all the unbounded pleasure, which was intended for us at the thought of creation; because:

“Oh what a wonderful world it will be when I see that the world was created for me.”
