We never know
what lies ahead
If we did
would we still
take the journey
with the same passion
Or stop and be content
with what we have
already done

very true but even i have no idea as for the answer

Such a thought provoking piece of writing in such few lines. Now you really have got me thinking. Its true, we never know what is round the corner but sometimes we just gotta go on.I sometimes wondered if I'd stayed with my drunken, violent ex what way my life would have panned out but then I think, if I hadn't had the courage to get out when I did I wouldnt be with the wonderful man I have today. And sometimes its best to just run on that path and never look back. Well written piece, a pleasure to read, even if it does keep me awake tonight.

Delightful
Words that ring the truth of our journey through life. I believe time and unforseen circumstances befall us all.

I think that is what a lot of people don't see, the living right now.

thanks for leaving me a comment on my poem. thought it will be nice to return the favor. its a thought provoking poem. hmm if my past self knew that i will become the person i am now. i think my past self will still pursue it just to prove its not true even though it will still happen. i'm a stubborn one haha. anyways great poem. i loved it. and thanks again for leaving a comment on mine.

A very deep and thought provoking write. Leaving the reader to ponder and wonder. I must think I would push ahead.
Wonderful job in it's brevity!
Best~

GREAT QUESTION!
I really liked this poem. It was very philosophical by nature and had much more depth and meaning than most short poems do. I love how it was phrased as a question, perhaps rhetorical, but still... it gave it a different feeling than a statement would have.
I loved this one. It may be my favorite out of all the entries in this contest (I've read them all, yours is the last I got to).
Definitely deserves at least a consideration for the trophy in my eyes - then again, I'm not the judge!
Keep it up and good luck to you!
