In Pursuit

In Pursuit...

I'm tired, I'm beat,

I need to make a hasty retreat,

I'm down, I'm out,

I sorely need to turn about.

Yet I must walk, Must go on,

To get from darkness to the dawn,

I shall not stop nor know peace,

Till I fulfill my dying wish.

I will not stop nor shall I yield,

Every feather of failure I shall wield,

And make my quills from it all,

I shall rise again from my fall.

And though I know that I am dying,

And yet I won't go crying,

But revel in the moments left,

Gleaning smiles from tears unwept.

And one day, perhaps, when all is past,

I shall, somewhere, find Peace at last.
