The Quest


THE QUEST
Like bringing a knife to a gunfight,
I find I am unprepared and ill-equipped
For the challenge and battle of this life.
Does anyone come truly prepared?
Does anyone really know what to prepare for?
My heart is wrapped with a thin veil of protection.
My soul boldly marches through dangerous
Battlefields, nakedly on its own quest
Exposed to the arrows of pain and sorrow,
Disappointment and failure.
Each wound is but an opening through which
Light can be seen.
And at the end of soul's quest
The veil over my heart will be lifted and
Find it is surrounded by love.
