Have you ever climbed a mountain

And felt your life suddenly stall?

Have you ever watched the sunrise

And realised your life is quite small?

By Michal Ico on Unsplash

Have you ever listened to the rainforest

And heeded nature’s wild song?

Have you ever swum in the ocean

And wondered where you belong?

By Beau Horyza on Unsplash

Have you ever endured the desert

And felt it’s over powering will?

Have you ever walked the streets

Looking for a modern day thrill?

By Keith Hardy on Unsplash

Have you ever had a dream

One that you would like to share?

Have you ever needed a friend

But there’s never anyone there?

By Илья Мельниченко on Unsplash

Have you ever wished for a love

Someone to call your very own?

Have you ever known the reason

Why you always feel alone?

By Sasha Freemind on Unsplash

Have you ever searched for life’s purpose

Discovering it’s impossible to find?

Have you ever felt your life’s incomplete

There’s got to be more by design?

By Clark Tibbs on Unsplash

Have you ever searched for an answer

But you find that it’s never there?

Have you ever been beaten by life

No matter how much you prepare?

By Sigmund on Unsplash

Have you ever considered life is a fantasy

Nothing but a dream that won’t come true?

Have you ever had an alternate reality

One that you’d found you outgrew?

By Jie on Unsplash

Have you ever searched high and low

To discover what the ultimate truth may be,

Have you ever found the answers

If so, I am hoping that you’ll tell me?

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
