I've searched the sky
past its midnight hours,
seen the sun's hot gaze
through the meteor showers
Touched the fresh wind-blown snow
on the ancient places
as I climbed the scowls etched
on the cliff's granite faces
Treasures for miles
Free for all and anyone
Wish I knew what I had,
can't undo what's been done.
Long obsessed, I discovered
this fabled cave of wonder
(where jewels serve as mere mats
for more valuable plunder).
At the end of this quest,
without means to be saved,
I die a rich man,
all this wealth at my grave.
An end all of us face.
Like these gold sands of time
they escape past my grasp
as I leave all behind...
