What Are We? and what is all this madness for? A beautiful write you have shared making us possibly accept leaving this earth. Douglas's comment was interesting.

What is said is right. At the end we are going to be with the gardener and he will use us as he likes. A nice philosophical drop about this short and useless life. Enjoyed. Congrats on being chosen as poem of the day.

nicely penned on philosophical thought- everything and everyone we are but we were none and nothing and will be none and nothing!

A great philosophic poem, we were energy transformed in matter and then we cooled enough and our hotness that did not end completely was changed in love. We are nothing else but love and I loved this thoughtful poem.

deeply rich with thought, some times people need to stop and think that all the mindless things of getting upset, lineups, not getting the right order, means nothing, we have to value what we have, and do what we love be for we return to the earth. Great choice of poem of the day.

This is a poem that points out the absurdity of life. It opines the mystery of existence and existentialism. A well articulated and conveyed poem. Sylva-Onyema Uba.

We are souls encased in stardust and what is the soul made of? Love..

The great gardener in the sky? ? ? There is something that I can touch in nearly every line of this poem; it lays down a solid foundation. Everything necessary to build an impenetrable fortress to surround the soft vulnerable flesh of humanity. But ultimately the edifice becomes a castle in the air.
