The Quest Poem by Dave Cole

The Quest

Rating: 4.0


I am an ant (or a number theorist) looking for the greatest happiness in small things.

I am king of a great kingdom looking to expand my empire so that I
may find the greatest happiness wherever it may be.

I am an astronomer looking the farthest the eye and machine can see
into the depths of the heavens for it as well.

Hmm. I'm just a simple monk on top of an anthill in an orchard of a great kingdom beneath the heavens on a full moon night.

And I am enjoying the eternal bliss from within.
