I was looking for a home,
Those footprints, I left,
Weaving up the road,
Going here, to this platform,
With a sign,
"Wait"

Patience,
Is my essential way of life.
A quiet pulse, melting.
Like candlelight.
I was a reflection of diamonds,
In a fire.
Breathing some magical, kind of way.

I was looking for a life,
Some cabin,
In some forest,
By a crystal clear stream.
     Where at night,
           The moon , buries starlight.

Or a Hut,
Through some Jungle.
Near a desert.
      Where in the mornings,
            Rain showered, for hours.

I was looking for a dream.
A conversation,
With the oracle.
A thread,
Going through some ocean,
On the backs of sharks.

I'm looking for a home,
For some place,
In the mountains,
By a tunnel,
That sunk into a city,
Leading to a door,
That was expecting me.
