the finding

i've ridden the waves of despair
and hugged to me the courage of my heart
always knowing that somewhere i will find you

if i reach across the ocean
will you take my hand and pull me the rest of the way?
will you light the way and scatter the shadows?

if i wander across the universe
barefoot and starry eyed
will you find me there and bring me home?

Of course I do,
For in life I too am seeking for you

For life without you is
pretty dull
And of course a partner, indeed a real partner
is what immortalize every mortal

Life' s course is very coarse
without your company
for with someone accompany all the time
makes life a great symphony

Life is love's only nest
I want someone to join me
in the construction of it.
And when we set together both in strife and difficulty
We can of course make all our needs meet.

Wonderful! Especially the last verse and most especially


barefoot and starry eyed

That juxtaposition of the persona's helplessness & her continuing hopefulness is rich, rich, rich!

Yes, I agree with Jer about the line
'barefoot and starry eyed',
well done!
The closing line is sweet.

Thanks so much, Blaze, PM, and Sweets. :)

I agree with Jerry and Sweets. Practically all your poems touch my heart. Your poetry makes so many people say, "Yes, I've been there". Especially I love the imagery you use. Hm, I think I've said that before. Never mind. It's true.
