This life is not a blindfold chance, It's the fulfilment Of our imbalanced glance. It's not a jouney Of birth, death and rebirth, It is for equipoise with Perpetual bliss and mirth. The stream of life Never dries up, It changes its course Tastes new mix-up. It settles in the eternal ocean At its depth without commotion. CP

Life is full of 'why's' James. why this, why that, why should one, why don't we, why is there etc., We have questions repeating themselves right through our lives and we pretty well never get the answers on the really difficult ones. I like the way you have presented this 'question' short but very much to the point. Excellent thinking. love and hugs Ernestine XXX

This is a fascinating and quite thought provoking poem, James. In our lives, there are many questions that go unanswered or are unanswerable. For example, who really shot JFK? Is there life beyond our wee solar system? Will the Cubs ever win a world series? Your fine poem, though brief, certainly gets the reader to thinking and is very well written as well. Carl.

This is my kind of poetry. Love the lines 'Ordained precise ......By destiny' and the ending lines too. Great job.

An extremely philosophical poem seeking answers, to allow the reader to delve deeply into mysteries. There is not enough space to answer for me, but the secret of the universe is miraculous.! Top marks for your clever invitation to wonder...
