The Search

Gazing straight into someone eyes,
Looking for some tiny small clue,
I found the icy stone that shines,
showing me much it was not you.

My eyes stared in pain through streets
of misery I humbly beg that I find,
the eyes I once loved in sheets
and live forever in my poor mind.

The more I seek, I run, I search
For these eyes my life once loved,
I feel the greatest emptiness embrace.

For now will never be too much,
I go ahead for the one always adored,
Till I fulfill this lonely space.

Yes! I agree. Life is a search - it seems for something usually just beyond reach. I REALLY like this one, Manoel. Love, Dave
