A Quest For Life

I gazed at these starry skies and they gazed back My gaze wonders on; across vast emptiness. Like a wanderer, I am lost in the void of it's vastness No much like a newly born babe For I searched and yet I searched not. My soul is as a chilly wind, that blows through the icy desert nights. I am but some lost pilgrim On the journey for inner peace. I fear the insatiable thirst of my mortal soul Damned by the evil of greedy men Is it peace that I seek or redemption? I feel the skies emptiness whence I gazed I hunger for piety, I hunger for redemption. Why am I damned for the crimes of another? I have drunk of the strongest of wine I have drunk of the fountain whence cometh knowledge Yet the anguish lingers on. I have tasted all knowledge Both sweet and sour I am the essence of a dying star I am the brilliance of a lost grace I am a man with a purpose , one on a quest for life.
