Oh love why art thou in hiding? For thy heart searched and longed, and yet thy fruits yielded nothing, but love's own actions wronged. I searched for thee in unforgiving sea, submitting thy heart, I threw it away, and yet the waves yielded nothing to me; (but the warming kiss of a loveless day.) I searched the day and nightly sky, looking for the brightest star; yet love was neither far or nigh, for such a love shown all too far. Walking amidst autumn's veil, I searched her colors and her eyes, but thy search ended to no prevail, for love must pride herself in disquise. Mountains and streams I did explore, and explore I did for nothing found, but a loveless heart with none to adore, trampled upon thy hallowed ground. Night again I searched on whim, hoping love would meet me there, yet come it not, night ceased to dim, and morn' found itself in thy tear. Proudless and loveless I did depart, in search for love in so wrong-a-place; for such a search, wronged thy heart- I should have searched thou loving face! |

Somethings we search for are staring us right in the face. Love can be found in the last place we look cause once we find it, it's a whole new book! Like the write. |

My grandmother said, "You'll never find love while you're looking for it. It's only when you let your guard down and look toward another matter, only then will love sneak up from behind you, and grab you by the heart. Love your poem Rene` |
