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.

A most beautiful and eloquent expression of the special friend you and your heartfelt poems have been to me and I'm quite sure to many others..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..Sooner or later the magician is gonna run out of rabbits..teddybear

"We need someone special right by our side"
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!applause

Some one once said..never, never, never ever give up. One day the Evil Magician will get careless and look the other way. Your time will come. What you are looking for will certainly find you too.

Great write Marikia. Too many people are so
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.thumbs up angel cool peace hug

Thank you, dear poetess, for bringing this one back to light. I found it inspirational. Rereading, not reading, is what counts (Jorge Luis Borges) seems to be true to me. Kindest regards!hug bouquet
