I've returned from distant shores

From a multitude of views

To find there's nothing more

No secrets and no clues

The reasons that exist

That I’ve tried so hard to find

Can surely not be missed

If you look deep in your mind

As the years pass

Indifference grows strong

I long to find my home

The place where I belong

The bitter taste

Of empty contentment

Lingers ruefully

Breeding resentment

The Glory

I've been searching for

A speck of light

Shining just for me

A Fire

Igniting my core

That's just and right

Shaping my destiny

Distant phantoms beckon

They call me from the void

Like golden embroideries

On a black fabric deployed

Providence lies waiting

Alone I stand to choose

The weariness of aging

Offers what I can't refuse
