Existential Angst

Here amidst the squalor of suburbia, striving for years to get here I now wonder what comes next. What happens when you’ve reached  for the curb and grabbed it? Is there really a plan? I am a Cro Magnon in the face of God’s infinity, if He does exist. Yet I feel there is something still to do, more than just sit quietly and wait to die. Is that Him speaking? Perhaps there is nothing at all only emptiness in the void. But still I feel a departed sense of purpose putting one day behind another  and moving along an aging road. Languishing in this lonely, lost cavern of a home I sit tapping at the keys. Click, click, click my thoughts  materialize in objective black and white but yet they do not form a rainbow only dream of a rainbow echoing in the ventricles of my brain. I am making my peace with God. I speak to Him of my pain, my fears, and my hopes My words are His answer to  life’s absurd comedy.
