SOMEONE SPECIAL
We need someone special to teach us survive,
The art of compassion, endurance and strife,
With kindness of heart and forgiveness in eyes,
We need someone special, could you be the one?
We need someone special right here by our side,
In life’s troubled waters there’s nowhere to hide,
This path is unbroken, this sky’s overcast,
This moon looks so dismal, sun’s not on our side.
We need someone special, seems not much to ask,
I guess there are many who play seek and find,
I guess there are legions of people like us
Just hosts of nice people so lonely at heart.
We need someone special, could you be the one?
Cast off all such doubts as distance and clime,
What if it’ll be better if love’s our guide?!
What matters in real is life – yours and mine.

About this poem:
My kind friend's message set me thinking about how long this seek and find can last. Call it a dead end, stalemate, what not, with no way out, and all roads to wherever we aspire blocked as if by the evil magician.

Search until your find don't ever hide
I still remember Grandma telling me "Nothing beats a trial but a failure" and "nothing beats failure better than a trial" So we all just keep trying. Like the peice!
"I guess in many ways we are our own magicians in life and all the trick mirrors and hidden wires have been staged by the character and disposition of our own hearts.."
Let the love in you shine bright Marikia." what you are looking for is looking for you. Believe it
unwilling to reach out or take a chance or
even carry on emails long enough to see if
there is any connection. People seem to want
love at first site...and want it two blocks
from home...when in reality that seldom happens
and if it does it is simply Superficial.
Once again great write.
We need someone special right here by our side... Yes, even if they need to be imported! May each find that special someone for whom they can Cast off all such doubts as distance and clime. May reality, like your verse, be full of life and love!
