I'M Looking For You

I'm Looking For You 
By Herold Osmond Owoseb

I have longed to see the sea but never felt the breeze
I have been in the desert but never felt the heat
Back and forth I go around 
searching for a place of refuge and shelter

I'm empty inside but have plenty outside 
Have a lot to live for
And little to wish for 
Yesterday, today the emptiness dictates

I've done phenomenal things; but still haven't found the joy
Have seen many places but still haven't reached my destination 
Mountains I've climbed and seen the top 
But still that void remains   

Now I know that only you can fill my emptiness
A space been here for too long 
And for you my heart keeps on; hoping to find rest
I've found myself but I'm looking for you
                                                                                          7 April 2010
