The Search...

Years ago my soul it was born A dress of flesh and bone did it adorn Not knowing why I was here, I was bemused; nothing was clear. With this world I was constantly in strife; I wandered lonely through the ocean of life. By life and death and the world was enslaved; But for some answers my mind always craved. Where did I come from, where would I go? What lies beneath me and what lies above? Why does the beauty of a star-studded night sky Fill me with ecstasy; with joy I want to cry? What lies beyond the veil of the ether? Who am I? Will my self ever wither? What is happiness; what is sorrow? Whose place on this earth did I borrow? The answers to these, even the great thinkers couldnt see Then what chance does an ordinary mortal like me Stand in this majestic; mighty universe Here I am just a cipher; an empty verse! But when obscurities surge forth as the waves of the sea How can my mind be in a state of glee? The anguish of my heart floats timeless in space O Heavens tell me, where'll it find solace?
