Quest of Time
By Paul Wilson


Upon the wind I ride
throwing all doubt aside
Changing directions like the tide
with which I do abide

Winters night chill’s me to the core
Summers heat I can’t take anymore
In and out revolving door
back to where I was before

Climb the ladder of success
only to fail the final test
For the truth onward we press
unable to confess

Ring of life floats farther away
price of regret I now pay
Much to my dismay
I no longer know how to pray

Free sprit of the past
how long will this last
The seed of life never to be cast
hurry time is running out fast

Go forth into the fire
drink from the cup of desire
Turn back the clock of inspire
before time does expire




~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

Paul, my friend, you hit the nail on the head with this write!
As always, an excellent poem.

Man has gone from the "Quest for Fire" to the "Quest of Time".

"Go forth into the fire
drink from the cup of desire
Turn back the clock of inspire
before time does expire"

~ I hearya, Paul!

Another fine write, Dear Poet!

Loving hug,
Linda
