A SONG ABOUT YOU

I traveled so much in my life.
I lost sometimes shores in the sea.
I rocked and been shaken in skies.
In steppe I was scorched by freeze.

But heart knew not peace as it roamed
And urged to advance, straight on go.
On road – I was dreaming of home,
At home – I dreamed mostly of road.

When tiredness took hold of me
I sang about roads trod in life.
I missed love when happy, in bliss.
I missed sorrow much when in love.

And heart never stopped in its search.
It seemed as if planet was small.
I missed cold so much when it snowed.
I missed warmth so much in sun’s glow.

And heart, silly heart, did not know,
When bothered and pestered me so,
That all that it missed, it searched for,
Was you, merely you, nothing more!

We seem to keep going extra miles and taking extra pains while the object of our search is where it always has been - right in our heart! A warm hug will do a trick and work a miracle! hug

Always wanting the opposite of what we have all the time instead of being content where we are at - at the moment in time. Great poem - thanks for posting Marikia!

Many thanks, dear poetess, for finding this one worth commenting on. I also read it with interest cause I have forgotten it already: “So let us praise the distinctive pleasures of re-reading..." (Terri Windling) .

I agree: the antitheses here are superb, the resultant effect is the very one the poet sought for. Thank you, dear fellow poet, for dropping in, with kindest regards!wave hug
