If I'm chasing something:
some beauty in the world,
some kind of understanding
that I have yet to learn -
let's say I want it madly,
but why this mortal urge?
Does it possess some power
like what I've only heard?
Here's to hoping that something comes out of this great big mess
I've been making of my mind lately -
but I'm not in distress, yet.
I've heard all the stories,
at least what's on the news.
So many people's loved ones
that couldn't make it through.
(Could it be me?)
Maybe I'll never know now:
was it the prize or just the hunt?
Either way I turn it,
should I quit before too much,
or is this all just a crutch?
Maybe I'm thinking too much...
Here's to hoping that something comes out of this great big mess
I've been making of my mind lately -
but I'm not in distress, yet.
