Searching For You

I'll walk upon green feathered hilltop To find your spirit, I lost long ago Lay flowers where your grave said stop And sit in silence till' the sun falls low I'll bow my head in search of loneliness While trembling hands cradle tears that fall I'll feel the sadness of emptiness While listening for the unanswered call There is no pain time alone can quell No answer to quiet the reason why Life moves on and there is only hell Lost searching for you, my eyes still cry I'll claim no noble dignity or deed Find nothing alone on this hill but need 3/12/17 contest An Expression of Love
