A Search

Recall the Dreams of days gone by
The fading Hopes that are soon to fly
The Wishes that shall never be
And the Life that won’t return to me.

I am traveling on a Path
That leads through Dark, and Day, and Demon’s wrath
I shall continue to cover ground
Until at last my Heart is found.

What has Fate in store for me?
What shall I find? What shall I see?
At the End, will I catch Truth or Lies?
Will it be Happiness or Lonely Sighs?

But follow the Dusty Trail, I must
Littered with Pain and Broken Trust
‘Til at the End I finally meet
With Victory that is bittersweet.

All Innocence from me has fled
With Fallen Dreams and Sad Tears shed
What you see is what’s left of me
Why won’t the world just let me be?

Lost I wander through Shades of Dark
Trudging through Souls – barren and stark
Looking for clues to lead me through
And guide me to another View

From which I might be able to see
What was meant to be for me
And then will I finally be able to know
Where from here it is I'll go.

Longing for a Map to show the Way
I vaguely recall the Light of Day
But little do I want that now
As if the Fates would even allow

Me to know this one last Thing
Before I come forever under Their wing
All I wish for is my Heart’s Happiness
For my Soul at last to find Its rest.

I see the Road on which to walk
But my Pathway there is still quite blocked
So I fight the Barriers and press on
Eternally searching for my Dawn.

Golden Sun call not to me
Blinding Rays I don’t wish to see
Luminescent Moon find Your way
Shine your Light and be my Day.

Light send not Your aid to me
Let me go, let me be free
Call me to You, wonderful Night
Lead the way, my Guiding Light.

Where shall I truly find Peace?
When shall the Pain finally cease?
Where will I find a rest of Mind
And gain Love and Happiness in kind?

I am not sure, but One Thing I know
It’s not the End that matters so
It’s the Journey which we each take
And the Living we do for our Soul’s sake.

Let me for myself Discover
What my Concerns should be over
And for you yourself to find
Your own special Peace of Mind.

I live not for the Destination
Not for Friends or Affirmation
But solely for the Joy I feel
In the Living – that is Real.

A Reality is yours alone
Your own subjective, personal tone
I cannot tell you what is True
And I hope only for a Brighter Hue

To grace my Mind and show me the way
To guide me through my Darkest Day
To be there when the Search is done
To be my only, heartfelt One.

Will you grant me this one Boon?
To let me follow the Light of the Moon?
To let me find my own Heart’s Right?
And to live forevermore within the Night?

Fear me not, I am your Friend
Even and unto the Final End
If I Falter, I will not Fall
Listening to Nature’s powerful call.

I will find you Evermore
And help you through any Door
That must be passed to find your Peace
And finally escape the Dreadful Beast.

For I am a Guide for the Lost
Still on a Search at my own cost
But I have seen how the Shadows bend
Realities to Darkest End.

And I shall help you to overcome your Fears
To conquer Hate and Silent Tears
Your Soul no more on currents to be flown
No longer will your Heart weep alone.

I am your Friend and I am here
To help you Live without Fear
Of Day or Night or Shadow’s Beast
And to find your Love and Final Peace.

Good Night, Children of the World
Fear not the Lies that Illusion has swirled
Believe there to be a Better End
And know always I am your Friend.
