THE SEARCH Oh, Love, where might thy spirit dwell? In the misty roar of a sea shell? In a shadowed forest's docile trees? In lonely hearts ridden with disease? Within a golden grail or braided strand Of knowledge I can't understand? Oh, Love, are you within my heart, Seeking to tear my world apart. For I've searched the oceans far and wide, To every corner I, myself, might hide. I've searched the desert's burning sands, I've searched the lines of my own hands. I've searched islands, I've searched mountains, Buried streams and blissful fountains. I've searched the stars of the summer sky, The tears of a subconscious cry. I've searched with vigor, passion, desire, My heart with wings, my soul on fire. I've searched Pride and Humility, All you possibly could mean to me. Oh, Love, I 've wandered on this quest, Searched, most assuredly, in jest. Till, alas, with nowhere left to roam, I found you waiting for me to come home.

Michael; This is so romantic and full of the wisdom of the ages. Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ell |

Michael~ A worthy heart-felt render. 'I've searched islands, I've searched mountains, Buried streams and blissful fountains. I've searched the stars of the summer sky, The tears of a subconscious cry.' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
