Sometimes I Do Wonder Poem by Gert Strydom

Sometimes I do wonder
where the end of things do begin,
when it feels as if the darkness
constantly does win over the light,

as if we are caught a great labyrinth
and only do exist for a short while,
do not really know a
bout the real meaning of existence,

when tears do already flow
when in happiness we do love each other
and somewhere in all of this
from the very beginning

destruction is sneaking in
unseen and menacing
to suddenly like a lightning bolt
from a blue sky
strike at a time

and yet there are people
who constantly lead a full life
and always destiny
passes them by

but when I do look at the bigger picture
I know that at a time destiny does strike at everyone
that class, culture and skin colour
has no impact on it,
bad things do happen to everyone

and then I do come to the realization
whatever does happen in this evil world
God Himself does stand in the shadow
where as my protector He does act.
