And so

For many years

I searched and searched

To find the key

That illusive key.

What it unlocked I did not know

But I knew what it was

Was all that was.

I tried success fame wealth and power

I tried study labour bondage and freedom

I toyed with frivolity and comfort

And kept the peace

and stilled the water

Abandoning my mind

To attain my goal

Yet never did I hold the key to fill my need

To fill the holes

In the defining of me

Till I stopped and sat and let go my search

And found the truth in

The mundane

In the conflict and frustration

Of my own

reality
