A Pilgrim's Tale

There are mountains I'd like to climb,.
Waters and winds I'd like to ride.
There are depths that I'd like to span
And distances I'd like to run.

I've been seeking, searching still
For what is true, for what is real,
Knowing I would never find
In heights nor depths peace of heart and mind.

There is a wisdom I'd like to live,
And errors I'd have believed.
There is a favor I'd like to win.
I've labored much for all that's vain.

I've been seeking, searching still
For what is true, for what is real,
Knowing I would never find
In human hearts nor minds gold refined.
