Searching, searching
Searing heat soothed
By delicate summer showers
Calmness induced
By melodious medicine
Searching, searching
Cravings mitigated
By nature’s nourishment
Creaking bones eased
By lazy days on a sun drenched beach
Searching, searching
Anxious mind comforted
By a friend who listens without judgement or accusation
Stressed soul massaged
By a cool shimmering pool
Searching searching
Volume of life reduced
By wise words on a page
Connection with family bonded
By a compendium of life’s lessons
Searching searching
An infatuation with wisdom healed
By seeking solace in others
Emptiness and loneliness filled
By connecting with the one that’s cherished
Searching searching
Until it’s too late....
