Seeking

Im seeking, always seeking
for a place in which to find
safety, love and laughter
with lilting voices kind

Im seeking under gumtrees
sunlight shines the way
on grass, scrub and rock
all hours of the day

Im seeking inside hotels
bathed in candlelight
Through closets, under beds
in mirrors shining bright

Im seeking on the roadway
warm asphalt underfoot
cool air, colder starlight
breathing tastes like soot

Im seeking in the crouds
The push and pull of life
lost in the plethora
of smiles, hugs and strife

Im seeking on the rivers
im swimming with the trout
ripples toss the moons glow
into waters joyful shout

Im seeking in your eyes
with your hand held in mine
In the warmth of your soul
I feel quiet, safe & fine

Im seeking & I found it
my place of peace has come
I loved my search, my travels
But im happier now im home

I used to fish for trout. It was a hard fish to catch as I would normally get nothing, but occasionally get a few. One time I got three trout. I let my friends clean them and I regretted it because I only got about a tenth of what I would have gotten had I cleaned them myself, and they were cooked poorly.groundhog happy valentines day

Hi, Ewoky

I am seeking, too, and hoping to get to that cosy place symbolically called 'home'. In fact, home is where we live enlightened by the warm light of loving and understanding eyes.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful poem.

Hi Mcradloff

lol yeh, fishing can be a good or bad experience depending on where you are and how they swim. And Trout do like to watch us wade into their territory :D

Cheers
