The Seeker

To the Seeker who always seeks

Oh Seeker what did you find out there?

Did you find the summit

of that impassable mountain?

Did you touch the shores 

of that secret island?

Did you look in the eyes

of that invisible legend?

Oh Seeker what did you learn out there?

Did you learn to see

from the words of the blind?

Did you learn to dance 

with the rhythm of the tribe?

Did you learn to read

from the hand of a scribe?

Oh Seeker did you love?

Oh Seeker did you weep?

Oh Seeker did you wake

or are you still asleep?

At first you ran from fear

now you run towards hope

Oh Seeker will you find an end

to this unraveling rope?

The wind will always blow

The waves will always crash

The rivers will always flow

And the years will always pass

Oh Seeker your answers won't be found out there

As soon as you hear them they turn to air

Oh Seeker your hopes will never be caught

As soon as you touch them they begin to rot

Oh Seeker in your seeking you fail to see

that what you are chasing leads to misery

When in need, to the truth you are blind

When content, the truth you will find

Oh Seeker stop running to or from

be exactly where you are

and happiness will come
