Searching

A heavy shadow in my heart

In this darkness I did start

To slowly drift and then to sway

And now I have been swept away

On a journey far and wide

A quest to find the light inside

The truest feelings of them all

Staggering, tho not to fall

I seek to know the truest love

And from this darkness rise above

To free my heart from shade and blight

To find the purest, whitest light

Oh, I do like this Lisa. Why? It's got emotion. It rhymes. It's short and succint. And skillfully written. Well done.....

Dear Lisa - Sing-song sadness. Search and you will find, is the promise.
May it be so
