My Existence

Is there any reason for the ever changing seasons?
A cycle of life gone by…
Is there any reason or a purpose for existence?
So many have wondered why.

Do you find solace in believing the existence
Of the one whom you call God?
While some proclaim that they have every reason
To believe that man made God!

I have searched all my life to find a purpose;
Something to lend meaning to my actions.
In the end this search seems so pointless
Since every answer ends with a why.

Maybe I am meant to live and die in ignorance;
Should I even wonder why?
Even if your God told you the reason for existence,
How do you know it’s not a lie?

Could there ever be any peace without sadness?
Without pain even pleasure dies.
In this cruel world how could there be a purpose?
Are they just convenient lies?

I have searched all my life to find a purpose;
Something to lend meaning to my actions.
In the end this search seems so pointless
Since every answer ends with a why…
