The Seeker

I seek solace, peace and quiet
in such a loud and busy world
to be alone in the crowded room
to walk busy streets where noone knows me
to escape from demanding family and hand-biting friends
and just live precariously
if only for a day or two

and I seek wisdom, adventure, and knowledge
in such an irresponsible world
to do that which shouldn't be possible
to fly, to swim, to fall
to escape to a place with no limitations
and just live uninhibited
if only for a month or two

I seek to see beauty and magnificence
in such a polluted and diluted world
to see that which human hands cannot create
the land, the air, the sea
to see more of the earths splendor
and just live open-minded
if only for a year or so

I seek, maturity, humility, and understanding
in such a dumbed down world
to see the deeper meaning of death
and the even deeper meaning of life
to know there is something bigger than me
and live beyond myself
if only, for forever
