Searching

Endlessly, fearlessly, searching
For what I’m seldom shown.

Endlessly, faithfully
On the edge of a story often told.

Fearlessly, searching all about
For the answers I have always known.

Searching, breathlessly
For the truth I have seldom shown.

Restlessly, listening with a glow
For bits and pieces of a puzzle I solved long ago.

Desperately, seeking to grow
On and on, my heart needs to know.

Words, wonders, ways
I have looked at the hearts of all I know.

Seasons upon seasons
I have searched all, imploring reasons.

Slumber of mind teases me so
Just when I gain comfort and grow.

Endlessly, fearlessly, searching
On a journey I began Ions ago.

Loving, leisurely giving
What it takes that I know.

Tease me, tenderly please me
By reflecting on all I have been shown.

My heart having questions without answers
Only cold facts to use what I know.

Grow, growing still
On a endless Journey with little skill.

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

Fear only standing still.

I can relate to this, Dan. Well written, and I especially like the last 2 lines -- your signature, right? -- which this poem defines.

Throw your heart out in front of you

My favourite line of many good ones;

quote:
Slumber of mind teases me so
Just when I gain comfort and grow

Well done
