As for Poe (poor man) I don't rate him highly as a philosopher. His thoughts and questions (in this poem), though neatly framed, don't go nearly deep enough.

Comfort zones are for the faint-hearted. It's only when we step out of them that we begin to discover our true potential.
Great job!
Thanks, Brian, for listening and your kind feedback.
I actually like Poe more for his fictional works than his poetry, but the latter are easier to set to music.
I wouldn't call him a philosopher.
