.
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,Originally Posted by CdnReader
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.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Wonderful! Especially the last verse and most especially
That juxtaposition of the persona's helplessness & her continuing hopefulness is rich, rich, rich!barefoot and starry eyed
"You must be the change you want to see in the world." Gandhi
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.
Thanks, Barbara. Always appreciate your comments.
