Searching

A myriad of paths this
Life leads me to wonder
The endless expanses of
Time I have pondered

Searching for something
Too often just squandered
That this world has not
As yet chosen to proffer

A light that eludes the
Dark reaches of mind
And illumination of
Soul I must find

Pensively groping for
Answers, I’ve strived
Perhaps in my searching
I have become blind

Quite often when I have
Quit looking, I’ll see
The item so longed for
Is right before me

I’ve searched for so long
My will is now weak
Perchance if I cease I
Will find what I seek
