the sieve and the sand

I walked out the front door today,
to set out on the lonely road,
a quest to find myself,lo
a quest to unburden my load,
I went searching for peace,
I went searching for answers,
What lies ahead,
what lay beneath,

I dusted the cob webs,
from my darkened mind,
lit a candle or two,
to cast some light,
to shed some light,
to see what I might find,
I tried so hard to find my secrets,
to hide my lies,

what words were inside,
that little paper book,
what surprises I did find,
to see your name emblazoned,
stared in awe as it shined,
saw the whole truth,
spoke the whole truth,
and now I can never lie,

I walked out the front door today,
to set out on the lonely road,
a quest to find myself,
a quest to unburden my load,
I went searching for peace,
I went searching for answers,
What lies ahead,
what lay beneath,
my questions answered,
my quest complete,
I still walk the lonely road,
though not so lonely
