The Quest
by Latina
17-Mar-2010
 

I am a weary traveler

In a dry and barren land

In a quest to quench my thirst

It is not water that I seek  

I seek to satisfy a thirst

Deep within my soul

I have traveled far and wide

Yet thirsty I remain  

Oh where is the oasis that I seek

All I find is a mirage

Time and time again

A well without depth, I find

Forced to be a nomad

The shadows they do haunt me

Day and night they plague me

No comfort can I find

Yet in my dreams

I see the image of the one

Urging me upon my path

Yet again I rise

My path is set

I can not turn away

This thirst, it must be quenched

This fire burns within my soul

Hi Natalia,

    Thank you for your poem. You said your thirst is not H2O. Do I qualify to ask what type of "thirst" it is? thirst for knowledge? for spiritual things? for love? for friendship?

   If it is a bad question, don't bother to answer the question. Thank you for being a productive contributor!

thanks,
