Prompt 1: Beginnings (We Grew)
Prompt 1: Beginnings
Write a poem that starts with one of the following
beginning lines:
“When you meet a stranger...”
“I often wonder how I got here...”
“I didn’t expect it to happen this way...”
We Grew
“I often wonder how I got here”
I feel that’s something everyone wonders at one point
How did we get here?
How did I get here?
There is a lot in this world
Suffering
Love
Humor
Empathy
Horror
How did they get here?
How did I get here?
Humans, as a principle, spend a lot of time looking for the answer
For any answer
God and religion
Genetics
Astronomy
Mythology
Philosophy
How did we get here?
How did I get here?
We want a purpose
A reason
Tell me why I am here
What am I supposed to do?
Who am I supposed to be?
But that’s living isn’t it
Searching
Finding
Failing
Living
We search
We find
We fail
We live
Maybe wondering is what keeps us from finding
Maybe there’s nothing to find
Maybe we need to be ok with that
And not focus on the why
But the what
The who
What are we doing?
Who do we want to be?
Maybe that’s how we got here
We grew
