The Enigma

It hovers in the nighttime air,

As if it’s trapped ‘tween here and there.

What was its source, where will it go?

I think by dawn we’ll surely know.

Sail on sweet song as yet unheard,

No sound at all, no spoken word.

Where shall you land if ere you do,

What is your final rendezvous?

Perhaps you simply fade away,

Perhaps there’s nothing more to say,

Perhaps what was we’ll never see,

Perhaps it wasn’t meant to be.

Please tell me what you think

Wait a minute!
But it must have meant to be,
Cause its here for all to see.
The poem, itself, gives it its say.
Enigma, its your special day!

Wow dad this poem really explains how I am feeling about "you know who" and like the last line says "Perhaps it wasn't meant to be" That is what I am saying to myself over and over. Love the poem dad, all I can ever wish for is to eventually grow and be even half as good at writing as you are!! You amaze me in so many ways. Beautifully done. Love you always

You kept this poem simple, to the point, yet it leaves me with thoughts- I must say I loved the poem. the rhyming scheme and flow was great too. I should come around and read more of your work! Keep on writing..

Peace.

I share with you my own wondering of the enigma of life.To say this is deep,is an understatement. I seriously doubt,I could have said this as well.
