Existential Reflection
In shadows deep, I ponder life's grand theme, Existence' riddle, vast and evermore, Does purpose dwell within this mortal dream? Or are we drifters on an aimless shore?
Do stars above hold secrets yet untold? Or do they mock our quest for truth divine? Does God exist, or is His tale long sold, To minds that seek but never seem to find?
We're but mere specks in this vast universe, A fleeting breath in time's eternal race, Yet still we strive, our quest to rehearse, In search of meaning, in this boundless space.
Reflections on existence, ever vast, In silent contemplation, we are cast.
About this poem
In this sonnet titled "Existential Reflection", I embark on a poetic exploration of the deepest questions of human existence. Through carefully crafted verses, I delve into the mysteries of the universe, seeking to understand the nature of being, the quest for meaning, and the relationship between man and the divine. With every word, I weave a thread of philosophical reflection, inviting readers to ponder their own place in the vast fabric of existence.
