Blindly searching for Meaning
Poem by: Elena ArtistiC
Blindly searching for Meaning…
Life is a highway
There are times when you don’t’ know where to go
And you wish you had never been born
Life is a highway
It was morning, I think
And it was sunny, when I thought I finally found what I’d been chasing
Blindly
For so long….
They had told me so many times that life is pretty and it’s a “gift”
And with time I learnt to say it as well.
It’s not that hard.
But it was that exact moment, that morning, when I - still a child – saw it.
It was that moment when I understood and believed what they had been saying to me since I was a little girl.
Then I knew the meaning of life
and its beauty
and God himself!
Because that’s when I knew that all of that was you!
You made me wake up every day wanting to live!
You showed me the greatness of everything
If God did not exist, who could create something as perfect as you?
And when I lost you…
I stood there asking for just one thing…
just some more meaning in my life….

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! I love your poems too!
I didn't expect the ending, so it caught me by surprise. There are different types of love; love for a child, a family member, love in a romantic sense... we love so many people. I like this; flows well and has a meaning in it; good job :)

It had me captivated. I really liked it! However, the end did take me a bit by surprise and made me tear up a little. Though it hasn't been taking much lately to do that... c: Great poem and I liked it a lot! Keep up the great work!

Thank you! It's great to know that ypu like it!
So uplifting especially the line that "God must exist because He created someone like you",then reality sets in and you have to begin the search for meaning all over again. Very introspective poem. Great job.
