IN SEARCH OF ME
Where shall we find it
This place of solitude
One that is ours alone?
Shall it be in distant shores
Sea of cerulean blue
Tinged with sunlight
Dancing on the waves
Kissed by golden sands
Swept with the Master's hands
Shall we claim it
Upon the highest pinnacle
Backpack upon us
Staff in hand
Foot secure, trudging
At last
Where our dream began?
Perhaps near a stream
Running cool and clear
Rocks polished smooth
No obstacle to fear
Yet, it may be closer
So much closer than we know
Within our heart;
Reaching deep within our soul
Always there
Our solitude
We may always make it our own
No matter where we go
Wherever we may roam
Our spirit, within us
Always has a home.

ReplyDeleteYou think the beauty of the woman plays a part on how her spirit reflects? Can the spirit be shaped and molded or is it true to itself? Great composition.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful statement, Preston! Thank you! :)
