    In Their Quest

    In Their Quest

     

    To live life to it’s fullest it seem

    To me to be an impossible dream

    For the things that I most desire

    Seems consumed in denial’s fire

     

    As it seems from day to day

    More and more of life’s dreams fly away

    Across the uncross able ocean of not to be

    Making meaningful life a harsh fantasy

     

    A vision of what seems can never be

    To one of a mindset such as me

    For no matter the path I trod

    The stumbling blocks make each step hard

     

    And the way that I must go

    No road map or compass can show

    Nor a sure direction no one seems to know

    As I trudge on wearily, tedious and slow

     

    This tarnished tear stained yellow brick road

    Weather beaten and decaying from the load

    Of those whom life’s barriers tried to breach

    In their quest the Emerald City to reach

     

    H. Wilson

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
