An Answer to What? A Question!

by Lost Soul 691   Apr 22, 2006


Is there an answer?
Surely there must be!
But an answer only comes from
a question.

Without a question
we can only try
to grasp in desperation
for a solution.

We have the basis
for a question -
Don\'t we?

Now we must try
to piece it together
step by step.
To form a statement
of our unknowingness.

Not easily mastered
for two intelligent persons
such as you and I.

Where does the question lie?
With you or with I?
Where is the answer?
In us or in her?

A question, an answer
and life goes on.
But did we get it right?
Or is that yet
another unanswerable question.

Who knows?

    We must have being thinking similar thoughts. Great job this part here is so true,
    "Is there an answer?

    Interesting. I read through some other peoples' comments before writing this one, and someone said that this poem was inspiring. Although this poem was profound and brought up an interesting point, I'm not sure how inspiring it all is; I don't really think that was the point. Something about this poem reminds me of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", where these super intelligent beings found out the meaning of life, but weren't satisfied with the answer (42), and wanted to know what in the world the question was that gave that answer for the meaning of life. In a way, knowing the answer is almost easier than knowing the right questions. =P
