The Meaning
Uncertain is the meaning of life
even as the brightest scholars seek
to piece together a guide for dummy’s
from blurred shards of forged window panes.
Unknown is the meaning of me
even with sleepless nights considering
and hundreds of words mimicking equations
where x, y, and z question their ambiguous purpose.
Unsteady is the meaning of a poem
which on any given day can wildly fluctuate
in peaks and caverns of an inconclusive graph
drawn from circumstances flung as projectile variables.
Yet the meaning of poetry as a whole
draws universal conclusions from confused charts,
sparks light bulbs to math equations pondered in the dark,
and fits puzzle piece tips together for an ultimate picture of clarity.
