Pursuit

Question, Question, ask me a question,

An answer I cannot give.

Rank yourself high in mercy,

Fools gold rendered by the sieve.

Oh fool, poor fool, search forevermore

To pursue greener pastures.

And what state do I find, but

A blank page to fill faster?

Run, run, far away, sprint as a fool.

Away from pain, greed, and hate.

Is there an answer you’ve found,

A life so distinct from fate?

A purpose, a purpose, you find none.

Pray to no one but yourself.

Is it so melancholy,

Knowing you serve no one else?

Empty, empty, my head is empty.

A soul, my chest, in torment.

This hole is dissimilar,

I cannot make the descent.

Sink, sink, let me be, let water drown.

I am nothing, I am me.

Waiting, waiting, always weight.

Let me sink, and leave me be.

I arise, waves settling below.

Calm after the storm, the rest

Of my life to live the norm.

Have I failed or passed this test?

Till the end of eternity, my

sole cause to find and be found.

For that’s a unique purpose,

Lest only we feed the plants

Soon to burgeon from the ground.
