Incomplete Piece

‘To be or not to be is the question’, said Shakespeare

A question we have all been toiling with for eternity

A question that keeps burning deep down

Even when we are cold on the surface

To be the light or to be the extinguishing force is the question

To be the sunshine or to be the darkest hour of the night is the question

To lead as an example or not to be part of the herd is the question

In trying to find the answers

We seek a safe haven

Somewhere in between

In between the light and the darkness we start existing within the grays

In between the brightest sunrises and the darkest nocturnal hours

we seek peace in the honey-stained skies of the twilight.

In between leading by example and dissolving in the herd

We diverge and isolate ourselves on a road less traveled

To be or not to be was never answered

The answers we were searching for

Were lying all along beneath the very questions

That sent us on this ride called life.
