I do not seek the skies
For my spirit soars high above
I do not seek heaven
For I have found my heaven on earth

I do not seek the depths
For I enjoy the tranquility of the shore
I do not seek a god
For I treasure the silence at my core

I do not seek good luck
For I know not what that means
I do not seek happiness
For I know not any other theme

I do not swim with the flow
For I want to be that flow, even in pain
I do not seek change
For I want to be that change, time and again

I do not seek love
For love enshrouds my being
I do not seek freedom
For freedom enshrines my dreams
