Forever Searching

                    Endless questions, 
             Mercilessly torturing my mind; 
           Teasing and taunting my existence, 
                         the very essence of “me”. 
                                Search though I might 
                                        for the answers, 
                                          I am lost to the 
                                                   endless 
                                              speculation 
                                           and analysis. 
                                      Try though I do, 
                                         to strive for 
                                      the meaning 
                                            behind 
                                 such thoughts, 
                                    I disappear 
                             into the depths 
                               of my query, 
                                surfacing 
                            only briefly 
                            to gaze at 
                                 reality 
                             headlong. 
                            Only then, 
                          do I realize 
                              that the 
                         explanations 
                                I seek, 
                        the answers 
                           that elude 
                                me so, 
                              Will not 
                             be found 
                       in this reality. 
                              And yet, 
                             continue, 
                                   I do. 



                                 Ever 
                              exploring, 
                           Always probing, 
                        Forever searching, 
                            until the end 
                               of time.
