An Unanswered Question
Life is an unanswered question
of words few.
Some like to answer it, but
few really do.
Life truly is a book of volumes three,
the past the present and yet to be.
The past we have lived in a way,
never to be relived again.
The present we are in but in
great constrain.
The yet to be is as unsure as
my unanswered question.
