A chapter in the book CSP: A Collection of Poems

The Quest

by Sixteezkid



The greatest joy of life, the gift of love
Will always be our North for which we seek
With sextant in the heart, we look above
Toward the universe at hunger's peak

Fulfilling a deep void we have from birth
A touch, a bond, a kiss - our only need
Remains our lifelong goal; to keep this dearth
By fanning flames so love will not recede

If love is lost, a pledge is often made
To walk in darkness and forget that light
But hope and time ensures the hurt will fade
And brings again the jewel which shines so bright

From child's first cry until the day he dies
Love answers all the reasons; all the whys
