I've walked up and down these city streets Left my prints along the beach Searching for that which I need But seldom is it within reach Every nook and cranny in my home Climbed high the mountain top alone Never sure of where it's gone The illusive poem Day and night I will not rest This poem to find I've made my quest I've laid it out at my behest There's nothing needed more than this I've called up everyone I know Rang the Vatican in Rome I will not stop my on the go Until I find this poem I've trudged the jungles of the South More places than I dare to count And still have yet to figure out How all this came about I'll keep on with my keeping on Never bowing to the loss of hope Because deep inside one day I know I will find this poem I've looked up among the blinking stars Telescoped Venus and Mars Held up signs to passing cars But failed to look deep in the heart You'd have thought I would have known The one place I failed to go That's where it was all along The illusive poem

The Illusive Poem
I've walked up and down these city streets Left my prints along the beach Searching for that which I need But seldom is it within reach Every nook and cranny in my home Climbed high the mountain top alone Never sure of where it's gone The illusive poem Day and night I will not rest This poem to find I've made my quest I've laid it out at my behest There's nothing needed more than this I've called up everyone I know Rang the Vatican in Rome I will not stop my on the go Until I find this poem I've trudged the jungles of the South More places than I dare to count And still have yet to figure out How all this came about I'll keep on with my keeping on Never bowing to the loss of hope Because deep inside one day I know I will find this poem I've looked up among the blinking stars Telescoped Venus and Mars Held up signs to passing cars But failed to look deep in the heart You'd have thought I would have known The one place I failed to go That's where it was all along The illusive poem
