The Search...

I longed for it when the rain washed my face,
I searched for it when eternal winds of bloom chose to race...
The travel and joys when the leaves of autumn fell...
Yet all i have found are my stories to tell!

The longer i strove to achieve the heights,
Surrendering all the while whatever were my fears...
The wars and the cries when they passed, i thought i would see!
The winter and frost when it cleared, i smiled in glee...

In camaraderie, love and the best of my friends
In the mornings, noon and the worst of my nights....
When the road seemed to end and the abyss started to deepen..
When the cave seemed to open to the light i saw eyes awaken..

Yet no sight, whatsoever and the search did not end,
Not a word, a breeze or a hand that i had not held.
Awaiting in hope what i thought i saw each passing phase,
Some day, somewhere, i definitely shall find peace...
