Member Poem

there was a day
when I did fly
over patchwork fields
in cloudless sky

and I did marvel
and wonder then
what I did seek
Within the sky

on open road
I did race
with roaring engine
to someplace

past farmers’ fields
over mountain’s high
stopping not
just traveling by

and now I sit
in dark of night
in the endless thoughts
and I wonder why

so many things
and places a far
endeavoring have I
yet but why

as I reflect
and within my thoughts
seek to un-pick
the tapestry

what did I seek
or simply flee
what was the meanings
was there a reason why

as dawn breaks
as through window I gaze
and people race by
into another day

what purpose have they
unto what do they go
do their lives have meaning
or just simply be

is just today
just another day
where I do wonder
and wonder why

where would I go
and what would I seek
will I find meaning
or simply be
