Searching for Love
Where is love that’s washed ashore
The one I search... still looking for
On lonely walks past breakers waves
My heart awash with all it craves
Where is love that’s taken flight
Towards the sun and out of sight
Only a promise knows its name
A secret most guarded all the same
Where is love that lures me away
Searching to find out where it lay
Have I travelled too far and wide
Time will forever bury and hide
Where is love that’s washed ashore
The one I search... still looking for

Where is love that lures me away
Searching to find out where it lay
Have I travelled too far and wide
Time will forever bury and hide
Where is love that’s washed ashore

Snow melted yet?
I think we can all relate to your thoughts in this beautiful write
Thank you for sharing

Perfect place to meditate, relax and release all your thoughts to wonder.
I am kind of far from the beach now, used to be only five minutes away....
As most of us look for love here, searching is like a journey;
surprises to uncover but for sure God knows who is in your destiny...
Remember the waves always washes away but returns back every time.
Lovely poem.
I hope in 3-5 years from now i still think love exists
The failure in seeking outside of ourselves instead of seeking from within in the hopes that someone will just come up and say I love you I'll be your friend does not happen with a wave of a magic wand. We can complain for a life time why we cannot find the perfect love. If we cannot love our imperfections as well as our good attributes it cannot be real love. If many set up an unrealistic criteria or ideal conditions of love, for love, how practical is that. We can write multitudes of poems and stories of our personal vision of what love should be. Yet, if we could offer the same beauty to the people of our affection there would be no reason why we are alone and complaining about the love we seek.
