Quest

Aaron Harris

Confusion is the ruler of my mind; It cloaks my soul in dark uncertain night. So now to quest, my hidden self to find.

And now no longer to my fate consigned, I rail against my self-made prison tight. Confusion is the ruler of my mind.

Long past now are the days of life most blind, Days when I ran and hid my soul in fright. But now to quest, my hidden self to find.

All mortals think that they are good, are kind. But when I strip illusion from the right, Confusion is the ruler of my mind.

There, in the dark, I found myself made blind. But then in love did one my heart give light And now I quest, my hidden self to find.

My search will take a life and more of time; A lifetime not to know oneself aright. Confusion is the ruler of my mind. Then now to quest, my hidden self to find.
