On Distant Shores
A feeling that's eluded you since birth;
love was a word seldom spoken or heard.
Sill, you fantasize that somewhere on Earth,
someone loves you, although it seems absurd.
You listen for whisperings of that word
embedded in the tune of a songbird.
You dream your love awaits on distant shores,
leaving you wondering if it is true.
Perhaps you should leave the place love ignores;
move on with your life and try something new.
Pack your suitcase and bid this town adieu;
and for once in your life, believe in you.
Travel the world in pursuit of your dreams;
light passion's flame, and let its light shine.
Take a chance; say goodbye to silent screams,
and search for love's intimate telltale sign.
Your future happiness is on the line;
trust in yourself; let hope be your guideline.
All you need to believe is that it's true
your soulmate is out there, waiting for you.
