-- Quest and Discovery --
by John Herlihy
We are lost inside the quest,
We are found by discovery.
Freedom far from the nest,
Fly into depths of mystery.
On the way to one’s fortune,
A thread-bare fate richly sewn.
On a journey, events inopportune,
Confronted with things unknown.
The quest for one’s true identity,
The enigma of one’s true selfhood.
Always seeking one’s true destiny,
Fulfillment found in brotherhood.
Yet for all the expanse of the day,
Enlightenment on the narrow way.
