SOJOURN

Sojourn Midi

The search for love has taken me

beyond the dark cradle of the night,

deeper than the cooling pools of infinity,

past the dark shadows that hide the light.

To where I can find the stillness in my heart,

and love's sojourn can begin.

I need to absorb the love that lays behind the face

of the person I call friend.

Though I have searched before,

my quest was all in vain.

It was always you I was searching for

but never could obtain.

I felt the romantic tapestry

was woven only in my dreams.

The realm of the rainbow

was not within my means.

So long ago I stopped my search,

and lived long lonely years,

with only dreams to comfort me,

a pillow full of tears.

I did not want to languish

in my self made mirage,

So I covered my misery

with joyful camouflage.

I know that someday we must meet,

and I will feel your magic touch,

for even the God's must take pity,

knowing I love you so much.

Open your heart and hear my plea,

and I will adore you endlessly.

Make not my love a travesty

left hanging on the edge tragically.
