Quest of questions

... when you realize you understand them
and aren't even sure when it happened.

Thanks for the read, Lil Mama.

Understanding parents and what they were trying to say years ago? I hate when that happens, haha. As long as we don't forget children can lead, as well as be led.

Argh, torn between wanting to know all and knowing I know so little.

Much to ponder here Atakti.  It's a lonely road.

Wonderful words. :)

Thank you Magdalena... a lot unsaid here, agreed.

I may expand on this in new poem later, toying with that idea.

:)

The wisdom is in allowing others to be a comfort to us..they need it as much as we do...how else will they show their humanity?

The wise turtle stops by...

:)

Thanks, rt.

i'll search for answers until i go mad or die or both... whichever comes first :P
through provoking indeed.

Thanks, 13 :)

What would have been nice here would be to see something. Maybe show something, instead of just telling in each couplet. I mean show by means of an observation, or personal experience maybe.

I do like the questioning. Keep asking, you'll get smarter, then stop asking. If you're lucky. :)

Thanks for the constructive feedback, Mr A.

I'm not that smart, and I don't know much.  :P

I will only ever ask why.

Thanks, Kilroy, I must be getting through, somehow...

We are all on this quest some further ahead then others..this gave me a sense of tranquility..thank you..peace Crim

Thank you, Crim, for stopping by!  ;)

So many questions, so little answers.

Interesting poem, indeed!

Thank you, Scribbler.  :)

Beautifully insightful, deep & profound Atakti, yet so clear & eloquently simple, in your concisely & wisely perceived flow of interesting, philosophical thoughts & feelings, all so sparely combined & contained within the written words of your wonderfully rendered poem here!...

 Well done: a great write & read; makes one want to ponder & savor a little longer (with greater clarity!), the broader, essential, universal meaning of your poem!...  I love this one!... (Thanks for yet another little jewel!)

Well, hello, nice to meet you. And thanks for your thoughtful and kind comments!

:)

Sometimes, Gabriel, my mind is so open I'm sure some aliens are going to move in...

:P

Thanks, hun!  

Very thought-provoking piece, Atakti. First stanza & last stanza tie perfectly together. Love the title & the write! Well done! :)
