The Searchers Sorrow

A poem about finding our connections.

Such a heart does not beat forever

In search of it's other half

Listening for tunes carried on winds' wings

Each note points the lonely toward their path

Not for the faint of heart is such lonely a life

Constrained from knowing ourselves by the hands of fate

Each day brings us closer to one another, should we open our eyes

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

    No our hearts don’t beat forever, we just make the most of our heart beat while we are alive for sure. Nice acoustic to the challenge !!! 👍🏽👍🏽
