Quest

In the far corners I sought you,

Of worlds which sing in our nearing;

Inside my own heart I fought you,

In sin that smiles, overbearing.

Let me see the blindness that comes

From light, the life that comes from death;

Let me know the sorrow that numbs

My body, to feel my soul’s breath.

Let me hear your voice in silence;

Let your shadow blind our pale sun;

Bring me to the End of ends, whence

Our souls can show what they have done.

Let the far corners know Your Name,

Lost amid shrines, feet searching through Night;

Let your brilliance nearing blind my shame,

Let my blindness live in your Sight.
