I’ve sought answers to questions I’m yet to ask
And delved deep into mysteries great
I’ve worn many an invisible mask
And I’ve questioned the cards dealt by Fate
I’ve reached so high into the night
That my fingertips brush the stars
I’ve wallowed deep in moonlight
And dreamt of lands afar
I’ve sung the songs of oceans deep
And the odes to the azure sky
I’ve whispered where the shadows creep
And soared where winged dragons fly
And yet the question lingers there
No matter how hard I try
Where is the answer, where
To the question that asks “Who am I?”
