On Distant Shores
A feeling that's always eluded you:
love was a word seldom spoken or heard.
Feeling loved was something you never knew
as a child; that whole concept seemed absurd.
Yet poets say it's a magical word,
embedded in the tune of a songbird.
In your dreams, love awaits on distant shores,
and you wonder if those dreams could come true.
Perhaps you should go on romantic tours
and move on with your life, try something new.
Pack up your suitcase, bid this town adieu,
and for once, do something solely for you.
Travel the world in pursuit of your dreams:
your chance at happiness is on the line.
Take a chance; say goodbye to silent screams,
and seek out love's intimate telltale sign.
Trust in fate, and let hope be your guideline:
ignite passion's flame, and let it shine.
Long, lonely nights alone are nothing new:
so, go find your soulmate, who's lonely too.
