The Mystery We All Face

A cover
A hard plain cover
With a broad title
Nothing really special
Or interesting
Or amusing
At least from what you see
On the outside

An undefined mystery
With unknown answers
Unexplained events
Twists and turns
Ups and Downs,
Leading to new places
New stories
And new chapters

As the chapters change
So do the characters
The changes teach new lessons
and morals
To help with today's worry
Or
Tomorrows journey

No one understands
And all the opinions and predictions
Only lead
To more contradictions

As you flip through each page
You admire every word
And slightest detail
The not-so-special,
uninteresting
and non-amusing cover that was seen before
Is in the most surprising way;
Different and unique

Though you think the stories over
Though you feel
Like you got it all figured out,
Change occurs once again

Everything repeats
And you can't fathom all that has happened
Its a mystery
And the mystery continues

  2. Well written draft. you might want to think about actually explaining why you are like the things you have stated, tell us a story instead of just describing the book. make a stronger connection between the book and you. MS(3)
