The Search

Flying high like a bird
Reaching out for horizons undiscovered
Encompassing the wild spirit within
Emerging free of the shackles of my wicked life
Dwelling into the unknown confines of my soul
Omnipresent is a search for what probably lurks within
Myopic as it maybe I kinda know what I seek

This was essentially an experiement with a style of a poem where the first word of every line adds up to form the underlying theme. I couldn't add the rider initially as my net had kinda given up on me but from I am able to gather from user comments most of you probably were quick to latch onto it.
