Thank you, W0lfbane, for this interesting exploration of one of Life's most challenging questions, "Why am I here?" The form is a 16-line free verse poem.

We start with the beauty in life, moving on to its misery, landing on the hope of finding the way home with courage. Paradox, wonder, pawns, unanswered questions are all observed, but none gives the poet any acceptable answers.

The last two lines hold the key to the whole poem, "Life holds many secrets, And it takes them to the grave."

May I offer the hope found in John 14:6, KJV, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." I know that not all understand or accept this belief, but it is the best hope, that I have to offer.

Great poem! WRITE ON!
