A Saga Awaits You

The crowd pushes as your soul pulls, You along your path to obscurity, Where the light is engulfed, By the clouds of eternity... Timidly you lag behind, Lost in the eddies of time, And slowly you trudge, To the same old grind... But for the one who sees, Dreams in splendored color, The seeker holds the keys, As one searches for the other... Sparks of desire flood your mind, While the cold dark streets glow, From burnt embers lost in time, And mounds of dashed hopes below... You thrash and flail in utter desperation, And you need that which can not be known, Unless one is seasoned by your imagination, When the dream is passed and the hope is grown... Then it comes to you in a flash, Love must be shared to exist, So to others your hope is passed, And your light escapes the mist... The seeker surveys the vast multitude, To find the source of the light, Where the gift of hope was shared and grew, Piercing the thin veil of night... And to these dreamers is dared, A glimpse of wisdom anew, For you who love and share, A saga awaits you... Prepare to finally see, The source for finding purpose, In all that you do and can be, Lies in what you can do for us... For selfish deeds trap us, And kindness offers you much more, Once you apply this to practice, Blinding light will pour forth... And as the secret is shared, Love rekindles the awakenings, Among all those lost and scared, Wonder and awe the new day brings... Remember the grandness of this tale, The next time you find yourself lost, For what you offer is the holy grail, So much hope... for so little cost! My Gull Wheels On!
