I Search the World

I search the world for your eyes and find it bare

There is nothing in it that can match the light

that shines for all but I would wish were mine

 

I taste the water bursting from the spring

and never know the sweetness of your lips

or see in sparkle any like your smile

 

I search the snow for shapes of you and find no sign

Its frozen form can never hold the grace

or softness that is yours and held from me

 

The wind I search for traces of your scent

Its life I'd gladly change for just one breath

that moves and plays so softly through your hair

 

The things I seek exist not in the waking world

but solely in my dreams and in my heart

that weeps for love and will not ever rest
