There are so many things
That I wonder about.
It's hard not to wonder.
I've tried that one out.
I wonder and wonder:
If what will be - will be?
And is it - what it is?
And was what was - really?
Wondering clearly,
Can drive you half mad.
Wondering good -
And wondering bad.

ha. its a good bit of madness thoguh mostly...unless you let the bad get a grip...then it can be a bit of insanity....
ReplyDeleteWell, that is the eternal quest, isn't it - stopping the bad, from getting a grip. Smiles.
DeleteI love to be with wondering good...but the bad one is so much powerful...ugh
ReplyDeleteYes. The "bad ones" are very, very powerful. Thanks, Sumana.
DeleteThis is actually very profound.. this is what philosophy and science is all about.. with the limited horizons of humanity - how can we ever understand the gulf between what's here and what's beyond... except we have to keep trying
ReplyDeleteThank you, so much, for this comment, Björn. When I first started blogging poems three years ago it was really just a way of putting pen to paper and writing down little notions that had been with me (rolling around in my head) for many, many years. I was very insecure about my poetry and so I began with a Blog called “Head Doodles” (basically, a non de plume for “don’t take me seriously”). But some – certainly not all – of those “light” poems did have a lot of living and pondering behind them. And I appreciate that you picked up on that.
Deletetypo oops . . . nom de plume.
