Big Questions

The really important, big questions are not meant to be answered,
as if one could eat them, consume and digest them into some summary 
shitted out concepts of life and meaning.

Rather, the big questions are actually larger than life,
larger than any individual, with some small-ed down mind,
could possibly contemplate or grasp in their entirety.
They are simultaneously both far too personal
and utterly impersonal and indifferent.

The big questions are beyond any one that appears.
They only ever engulf and eat all at once and whole,
every seeming one who happens on them ... suddenly ...
in their dark nighted-ness or their bright heartedness,
leaving nothing behind, no mind, no person, no answer, 
no question, ... not even a question mark remains. 
Only the Mystery that always Was and only ever Is.
