The Journey of Life

For the time that's lost I seek to find,
tranquility, serenity for my troubled mind

Pondering the purpose for my desire to subsist,
when inevitably, unmistakably, this life I must relinquish

Is it merely an idle race against time to wards a final destination,
or is there a higher truth to it all, beyond my comprehension

My quest for fame, fortune and knowledge, these things to get ahead,
satisfied with this temporary happiness, foolishly, I've been misled
