meaning of life...

by Sigurdur Haraldsson

burning the midnight oil
for the last time
I reflect on my long life

has it been fulfilling?
i believe it has
- at least for me

but what i really want
is for my life to have a meaning
(as in the meaning of life)

what is the meaning of life?
my life that is?
so many questions and no answers

lying here in the encroaching darkness
wondering if my deeds will be remembered
even only by a single person

after i'm gone to the place
with all the answers
and no questions, i hope

at least i brought a smile
to someone once in a while and
there was a kind gesture occasionally

it that enough?

...sigurdur, mmmm, seems like we are asking this question rather often, eh?...inherent in your words are to "meanings of lives"...examine, explore, wonder, think...all aimed at have i been an additive or a detractant to the beauty of the thing we call life...a good question, and by the asking in most cases the answer is yes...just being conscientious indicates a caring of the state o' affairs...sorry to be so long but this is a good, heavy(with meaning) pome, and as long as someone is alive you knows us, we still live, eh?...sigurdur, a great, meaningul write, peace, chaz
