The Pearl Behind My Eyes

Because the eyes of my heart have been opened and I can see the sorrow that lies behind all the laughter and amusement, a sorrow of lost souls undone, finding nothing to do that is sincere, their life a deep sorrow of want for meaning.  For there went I so many years ago.  I was racing down the highway to hell, in pursuit of mirth, but determined to live meaninglessly.  I lived with that, me so vital and living, so young and filled with vigor but with no reason for any of it but the ongoing stupor of self-medicated and indulgent meaningless.  And then, despite myself, I was found.  When one finds meaning one finds life and in that is the great pearl, the great treasure who, me a man, sells all I have to obtain.
