Preponderance

I pondered my purpose today
(for at least 5 seconds I'd say)
to seek an enlightening clue
but nothing revealing came through

so I simply went on my way
and pondered my purpose today
when I had rare moments to think
for I felt I was close to the brink

of discovering something profound
which made my lagging heart pound
as I pondered my purpose today
dismissing this current dismay

with confidence I will soon see
a meaningful motive to be
a nobler cause to covey
than the purpose I pondered today.
