You Came Asking Me The Question Poem by Obiaeli Ifediirichukwu Victor

What is the reason behind existence
What could be the reason behind life
What is the reason behind the happening of things
What is the reason behind sun up and sun down
Why are you you

In the darkest of the night
In the thickest of the forest
In the deepest of the seas
In the furthest of the horizon
I raise my voice in answer


Existence lies with the creator
Life lies in God
Things have time and season
At the fourth said I, nature
Then the ultimate of them all
The apex of your curiosity


Faces lie differently
Actions portrayed apart
Hearts beat individually
Emotions relayed in diverse means
Prints of the palm different
Destinies... parallel

A hunch you termed my answers
Saying they mean but vain
The dust is of more weight than they
But I turn to ask you
Why is there day and night
Why do people dream
What does love imply to the future

Sinking back to your ignorance you said
They are the way they were made
I then calling up on five wits
I am myself because it took me time
It took me time to discover me
The sun and moon acclaims to it
The wind sings it faintly
Into ears of the special ones
Remember...
You came Asking me that question
That very question
And got an answer
