Quest

I still search for my soul, As I see the stars every night and feel, Life is devoid of all those happy days, The intense passion and love had gone astray.. The fiery times and the melodious chimes Were not there to stay! Stolen moments that brought bright light Have taken an independent long stride And walked far far away. I still search for my soul, As I see the vast sphere of the overcast sky, Covered with the uncanny darkness Enshrouding the paths which lead to paradise, Grasping me with its sharp claws! And thus I suddenly realize, The silver moonlight of yesteryears Has turned into volcanic ashes. I still search for my soul As sweet memories knock my mind Piercing my lone heart with its visions That has been left behind, And my leftover shadow is blown away With the stormy winds of today Leaving me absolutely lifeless Underneath the scorching sun's rays, With unanswered queries invading my self Treating me as destiny's orphan child, As I scream aloud to rewind And continue my ongoing quest For the completely disappeared pieces Of my shattered conscience.
