Do you seek beauty
lovely as the full moon
fleeting as the morning bird?
Do you seek power
crushing as the thunder
commanding the hearts of men?
Do you seek wealth
shining glittery gems
born of the ground
chiseled by crafty hands?
Do you seek glory
the ardent praise of your fellows
a hall full of standing applause?
Do you seek solitude
the calm lake by the mountains
which reflects your face clearly?
Do you seek friendship
a relationship to test time
standing by in each other’s storms?
Do you seek immortality
a legacy sketched in history?
Oh wandering soul
do you know what it is you seek?
For my other poems, take a look at A Season of Poetry.
