Poetry: Soul Search

by Liam

Embrace the shadow to search the night,

My hungry soul now seeks the light.

Amidst the void of this lost dream,

I find a flash, a star that gleams.

Between gnarled woods and mountains tall,

This search for meaning never stalls.

My steps are a quest, on a pilgrimage divine,

The inquisitive thirst is my soul’s design.

Amongst ancient tomes and thoughts and verse,

I seek truths, a quest that’s first.

Seek I in temples, in mosques, and church spires too,

The essence of being, my soul requires you.

We laugh, we dance, and tomorrow’s tears,

A soul needs meaning to calm its fears.

It’s the fleeting moment, a lifetime weaves,

Our quest eternal, this heart believes.

With my every breath, a glimpse I find,

This purpose of my existence is entwined.

Through the embrace of love in a moment’s grace,

My soul’s hunger found its place.

It’s in the vast expanse of time and space,

I search, I seek, I dream, I embrace.

A soul’s need for meaning wanes,

An eternal quest, forever remains.
