Quest

by Feyd - Cancer

Remember a time of innocence

What snack will I get at school today?
What game shall I invent?
What marbles can I trade?
Who's hand will I hold on the field trip?
What morning cartoon will I watch?

The world is new
Mountain fresh
Untouched
An open-eyed wonder

What scars are now embedded in me?
What has happened to this point?

Experiences of bliss and despair
Dual realities of magnitude
The middle ages

Endless searching and destroying
The knights quest for honor and understanding
Fighting dragons of doubt and guilt

Shangri-La winks at the end of the tunnel
in glorious flashes of content moments
and shatters with a whisper
leaving shards of fire for my engine

On the road again
Singing sweet songs of youth

Find it again
You know it exists
You've tasted the comfort
The essence of the relic
That place where peace surrounds warmth

It will always be there,
waiting for you to return
