on a grail quest

In an attempt to toss something out here that I have been thinking about, please accept this rather rough and poetically formed spiritual thought of the day. It is something that correlates a bit with the whole Da Vinci Code hoopla, primarily because the book/movie brought the whole mystery of the grail back into the limelight.

Enjoy!

Grail Quest.
I'm on a grail quest; to places unknown I go, in search of the mystery that awaits me.
To find the cup that Christ used, in which he gave his blood, my salvation will be found.

San Greal, Holy Grail.
O sacred chalice, O revered vessel, in ages past you were lost.
Many have tried, many have failed, but one day my struggles will bear fruit.

Sang Real, Royal Blood.
The cup, it was an idol; your blood was the real treasure.
You came to establish your kingdom; not one built on power, but one built on love.

Sacrificial Blood.
Many rejected your kingdom, they refused to hear the truth.
You placed yourself on the altar, you walked right into their grasp, and you did it for love.

Saving Blood.
Your sacrifice was the plan, it was the way to save us all.
We can't seem to fix our problems, but with you everything seems to work out in the end.

Saving Grace.
We try to earn your love, and we attempt to work our way into your good graces.
Try as we might, we will always fall short, but your love comes with no price.

Grace Quest.
Your grace is free to all, your teachings and actions model a better way of life.
I've given up on the grail, it's a fruitless search. I'm on a grace quest.
Everyone who seeks, will find.
