Finding You

I look for you in the jostling crowd Being pushed about in the angry human waves I find you finding me We move towards each other I rejoice in your warm embrace My tears fall freely Relief washes over me You are my beacon of hope But then we separate My hand lingering in yours Our fingers slip through I scream your name, though in vain Then we reunite Though covered in soot, I feel beautiful Although our homestead can no longer hold us Our lives shall be intertwined forever
