Quest of Life

Quest of life

Life is akin to a pendulum,

Moves to and fro,

Man loses focus of where to go,

How do I survive with my muddy hands?

Man becomes hopeless,

Unending struggles dine with darkness,

Tho, there are bountiful days,

That gives man a heart of praise.

In the quest, on me was a garment,

Danced to the home of torment,

I sat and weighed my thought,

Clueless as I sought!

Strived for an answer,

Until I ate the fruit,

Like the beginning of downfall!

Right there in the garden of Eden.

'Nothing left,' I whispered,

What then is a life that looks shattered?

Heart of man suffocates in the search,

Forgetting life can't be bought by cash. 

Vanity is insanity, 

I left God, I walked in vain,

My stupidity brought upon me calamity,

I left Him, I searched in vain.

The gate makes away at the sight of His light,

He is the way, the truth, and the life.

No wonder I failed in my pride,

God is life, the bread of life.
