Knowledge

I have sought thee with all my heart From the days of my youth I made you my best part We were happy as two souls who never want to depart And then I was suddenly wrenched from you My mind turned blank and I wandered like a bloody fool I was worse than a prisoner in a prison; For it was far worse for the cells of the mind to be in the dark than to be trapped in a dark cell And one day while I was looking far away out of the window Like a gentle dove you came back and sat on my shoulder I would never forget the light that flooded back into my mind Like a bird that let out of a cage my mind became free Knowledge I salute and bend my heart to thee
