A Search that never ends

Can, an idol smile? Impermanent rendering Sight, changes all Witness everything, oh For, moments of empty time feigning felicity Worn, slipping mask Hiding nothing, yet Pale The pallor fades Erosion tears away Life A glimpse of light Nascent vitality Struggling through an infancy designed to curtail growth Another path frustrated Beyond all hope of redemption lie the fragments of a thwarted search And futility rears its ugly head So In clinging on To vapid dreams of finding Home Or what it's worth The search will yield no answer The search will yield no answer On and on and on On The search goes on Past all rationality Or Equivalence Settle for a draw Gone A chance to hold What it's all been for On The search goes on On and on and on
