The Quest

The grail doesn't give you the glory you want
The glory is a void
How is it to own what you want
And to be hungry nonetheless
The grail is not a treasure you want
You won't shine like an emerald
Don't get lost on this quest
But die into peace
No-one attains the grail
No-one attains the peace
Lift your sight and see
Clouds lurking into the skyline
The rain will destroy the roads 
You'd take and make you return
If you don't tap into wisdom
The clouds will obscure your star
And no one will take you home
So think twice, think thrice
That the grail won't give you the glory you seek

Laura, what we seek can only be found until we breath not.
