Endless searching; I’ve been lost for so long
Chasing every echo of a half remembered song
Ever elusive, it dances just beyond my reach
Evanescent, yet so clear
Once again to disappear
Heavy heartache; has it all been in vain,
My determination only causing needless pain?
Union refused me, and silence greeting every cry
Why can I not let it go,
This malaise of hopeless woe?
It’s as near as a shadow gliding past me on the wall
A breath upon my shoulder
Fragrance on the wind
Laughter in the trees
Sudden stillness; there’s a voice in my heart,
Speaking to the agony that tears my soul apart
“Hold on to me now, and I will give your heart’s desire;
I will bid your strivings cease
Come away and be at peace
Home is here with me.”
