The Echo of Thought

A poem. The meaning of life.

The Echo of Thought

We search for meaning in the sky,

In fleeting clouds that whisper why,

Chasing answers, far and wide,

Yet in our hearts, the truth resides.

We seek the stars, we seek the sea,

And question what we cannot see,

But in the quiet, still and deep,

The universe begins to speak.

The mind expands, soul does grow,

Yet how much more can we know?

In every thought, a question lies,

And every answer wears disguise.

What if the truth is not the prize,

But in the asking, the spirit flies?

The search itself, an endless quest,

Is where the soul finds its rest.

So let go of the need to know,

And in the silence, let it flow--

For wisdom lies in what we learn,

When we stop searching, and return.
