Is There More?

Is There More?

Is there more to life than just living,

What separates man from the animals?

Is life simply the breathing of air, of

Going from one moment, one action

To another, trying to survive for what?

Is there more to God than surviving?

The question seems to be lost to most,

Which is fine, but some seek the answer,

Is there more? Such a haunting question,

Who has the answer? God isn't telling.

With his strokes to the canvas, what was

Van Gogh seeking, what was his question?

Is there more than paint to the canvas to

Be sought or is it only canvas, no more,

Are we just artists going from one stroke

To another in life without meaning and

Without an end except for losing breath.

With His Son's time on earth, was he not

Telling us to seek more, there is more to

Life than earthly living, are we to condemn

Those who hear and seek more because

We cannot hear that call or we have found

Our own meaning on earth, are we the 

Ones who took Van Gogh's ear, are we

The ones that put the nails into the One

Seeking more of man than just life and

Earthly living, is there more for there

Must be or why did He cometh that night,

Is there more if we do not follow the star,

Do we fear and hate those who must go

Beyond the star looking for more, looking

To find their soul, their meaning for it all.

Has He taught us nothing with His coming,

Have we that believe forgotten His words,

His actions, what He tried to teach us and

Is trying to teach us everyday, to be better.

Is there more, can we become better and

Closer to Him by following His ways and

His guidance through life, is there more?
