In Search Of You


Across the pacific ocean
Far away from my home town
I went into the wild desert
In search of you

I learned a new language
Abandoned my native tongue
And asked many strange faces
In search of you

To find the right answers
I stayed up all night long
Reading all sorts of books
In search of you

I exhausted my brain power
Exercising meditations
Through time and space
In search of you

Your image kept changing
That's the only thing I ever learned
A different purpose is there
In the search of you

It came out as a surprise
That all I have been trying
Was to find a true self
In the search of you

This is how I see poetry -- searching for truth, in one way or another!  Happy holidays!

I have been trying
Was to find a true self
In the search of you
            its the reality of life
            we seek our image in others
            nicely written.

The search is never quite done...
don't forget to enjoy the journey
in this lifetime search.

There are way more than what I have put down here in writing, I am still learning how to construct my wording.

Thanks!
