Description The Magical Sphere
They say somewhere there sits a sphere
Some say it's far, some claim it's near.
The location & reason for it's exsistence
Is only found by those with persistence
For those who choose to show strength and face
For those who survive the vouage to this place,
It's said there's a key to unlock the door
That holds the answers they've been looking for
Most will search throughout their entire years
For the knowledge and truth inside this sphere
Simple solution is the illusion that's chased
But confusion instead takes it's place
A powerful "book of fate", the reasons why
They say it's all there, they spread these lies.
Most set out to find it with desire, with passion
But those who return, they only come in rations
The path they're forced to follow, to travel
Is everchanging, and paved only with gravel
The survivors who've seen it, they will not tell
They say the secret to life is not for sale
It's the stories of those who never returned
That are spread through generations to be learned
They are passed through history to remind
Of those who sought and did not find
Some lost their strength to move ahead
Some tried too hard and wound up dead
There were those who forgot why they began
And easily distracted, soon after they ran
But the one story passed on that'll never die
Is of those who did nothing but try and try
And of how when they looked in the sphere
All became nothing, the glass was clear
Their answers weren't found- they cursed the sky
They asked thier gods for the reasons why
The devastation and shock left them unmoving
The vision of nothing left many disproving
They were looking too hard and it passed by
The answer was the nothing, the reasons why
It is important to listen to the words I speak
For here is the reason they find nothing they seek
Not truly seeing they raced for life's end
Not stopping and thinking, taking time to mend
Closed eyes and closed minds, closed the door
Now they'll search in the darkness forever more
When they fell down, rather then rest
They stood up and ran away- they failed the test.
The only real map that will take you through
Is one that is found someplace inside of you
It is only you that knows the location of the key
And it's not at the end, but in your journey...
When all is said done, sphere or not
Your the teacher from which your taught
Nothing in life worth having is free
Choose to live life eyes open and you will see...

It's a sweet story, if a bit less heartfelt than the first four I read.
