Heart, Mind and Soul

My heart craves for moments To indulge my soul in bliss Away from toils and cares of this world To eternity and immeasurable peace. My mind delves into depths of time Seeking treasures sublime Hold moments captive in memory's realms Recollections like fragments of shattered dreams. My soul weary sailing turbulent streams of life Swirling in life's discord and strife Longing for that bright day dawning To merge with infinity yearning.

Thank you. I missed you too. I love reading your poems. One that had a great impact on me was "You hit me when I was low". I searched for it but couldn't find it on soup. If you've deleted it, please repost it. You don't know how that poem moved me to tears. Thank you.
