Quest of Faith

North of here
behind the lighted walls
beyond the hills of cloud
and towers of ruin
lies a land of bliss.

In her coffers, dwell
perpetual serenity
clement elements.

Men can only dream
to sieze this paradise.
But its route and path
is jagged and broken.
Even the water,
threatens to swallow 
her skirt.

She's been called lost
but still, round the 
corner
there may wait a new 
road
or secret gate
that opens her warmth
and reveals her 
splendour.

Shall we commence,
on this quest of faith?
