02-life................

weary and exhausted...these eyes skyward i lift.... my mind teems with questions....... when, where, how...why...???? as though somewhere in its womb.. the sky holds all the answers ... the same timeless, ageless questions..... a hundred times have i sought to unravel .. these mysteries that so shroud my mind... why am i here..???? where do i go from here...??? why do i live and breathe... the same life that thousands before me have lived.... the same deaths that thousands before me have died.... why do i feel ??/ the same feelings that thousands before me have felt feelings of joy ... feelings of pain... elation one day... anguish another .... we win some.. we lose some... today i laugh... tomorrow i weep... one moment i am in love with life.. another moment i wish nothing more than to die... the wisdom of the sages.. the foolishness of the simpletons.... the heights of ectasy... the depths of despair.. the innumerous achievements of mankind.. coupled with all its failings ... does'nt everything come to naught in one sweeping moment of realization... that evrything is but a passing phase.... weary and exhausted, these eyes skyward i lift.. the skies tell the same story that they told me ages ago..... nothing is eternal... it is all but a passing phase... and yet i toil...day after day... to live this life... that thousands before me have lived.... only to go one day... the way, thousands before me have gone.....
