The Pursuit of Truth

A life that no death could ever undo Long hid portals which remain to be found. That better life, which all wish to pursue the secrets of life and death interwound. Searching and searching, seemingly defeat, each corner we turn finds new paths to tread. Stands as the prize in the future we meet, the secrets we seek, the books of the dead. Some things we find are better, not revealed, their meanings like riddles misunderstood. The less armor worn, we brandish or wield higher truth follows our message of good. And as we found in the days of our youth, we still face the test of absolute truth.

My guess is that most of us would fail the test. This is very well expressed, good luck in Debbie's contest.

I found myself reading wisdom in this poem, wisdom that only comes from a life lived...truth is a river that grows from many streams
