Poetry

And I said to him
Are there answers to all of this?
And he said
The answer is in a story
and the story is being told

And I said
But there is so much pain
And she answered, plainly,
Pain will happen.

Then I said
Will I ever find meaning?
And they said
You will find meaning
Where you give meaning

The answer is in the story
and the story isn't finished.
