The Quest


He tried to stand tall but like a twisted maple his height was dimished
his clothes like his stature were less than they were at their inception
but his spirit like an unbending oak, seasoned by life, rose
His path was pure unfettered by distraction

to see the bear was frightening
Such power, shook his core
he knew this was his destiny
to walk this path without detour

In the distance he saw glitter
It could only be the cup
with anxious heart a twitter
his breath fought to keep up

cold water shocked his system
as he swam the murky sea
his inner spirit warm and dry
this chalice was the key

as ground appeared beneath his feet
the walls of doubt began to fall
the smell of victory was sweet
He sensed he soon would have it all

As distant shapes began to clear
a joyful shriek attacked his ear
another soul had claimed his prize
and gripped the cup and held it high

So back to find another quest
Another hope to be the best
remembering its not the goal
but its the quest that feeds the soul
