Searching

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 08, 2020 

Eyes focused.
Drilling down,
down
into the 
tiny.
Gazing out,
out
into the
infinite.
Searching.
Climbing 
mountains,
crossing 
continents.
Landing
on the
Moon.
Searching.
Contemplating.
Delving 
into the
soul.
Plumbing
the psyche.
Wrestling 
the
metaphysical.
Kneeling 
to the 
spiritual.
Searching
for 
truth!
Searching 
for answers.
Answers
to why?
Finding none.
Wondering.
Wondering,
hopelessly 
outgunned 
as to
why?
Why
there a
why 
at all?
