The Pilgrim Quest

A PILGRIM QUEST

As long as I am
Answerable He is
A question I ask

As far as I am
Known He is
Further unknown.

As true as I
Might be, He
Is true the more.

As soon as I am
Aware of Him
He is further on.

As lost as I am
He's lost more
Than I've found.

As much as I am
Open to Him
He is in me.

As cluey as I am
His are the key clues
Worth unpuzzling.

As long as I am
Answering He is
The question I ask.
