Thirst for Truth
Born in darkness, where senses deceive,
We dance with phantoms, a life we perceive.
Flickering shadows cast on the cold, stone wall,
A tapestry woven, an illusory sprawl.
But whispers arise, a disquietude deep,
A yearning for knowledge, asleep yet to leap.
Beyond the façade, a hunger ignites,
To pierce the veil, bathed in dawn's first lights.
The climb begins, arduous and slow,
As blinding brilliance challenges what we know.
Illusions crumble, fear grips the heart,
But each step forward, a truth tears apart.
From mere reflections, true essence unfolds,
Eternal forms, their grandeur untold.
Awakened minds cast doubt's shackles aside,
In reason's embrace, wisdom they confide.
The torch of knowledge, dispelling the night,
Illuminates pathways, where shadows take flight.
With every lesson, a veil lifts thin,
Guiding the journey, where truths begin.
The quest continues, relentless and bold,
Into the vastness, where mysteries unfold.
Beyond the limits of senses confined,
Knowledge awaits, a treasure refined.
From dust of the earth, wisdom takes root,
A tapestry woven, bearing life's sweet fruit.
With open hearts and spirits aflame,
We embrace the lessons, whispered by each name.
Shadows and light, in eternal embrace,
Each guiding the other, leaving no space
For fear or denial, but a quest to see,
The symphony of truth, setting spirits free.
So let us wander, forever in pursuit,
Of knowledge unveiled, no longer mute.
With minds ever searching, thirst never slaked,
The wellspring of truth, forever partaken.
