Longing

I search distant lands for beauty

Sacred sites fill my eyes

Yet none remain in beauty

My feet cannot find

The image held in mind

I have no words to tell

From whence it comes

To haunt me

My heart so filled with longing

For beauty’s eyes to see me

When darkness comes

Her light surrounds me

I sleep in the arms of beauty

Morning light steals her from me

With hollow heart I continue

Must I die in search of beauty?

    I think we all must die in search of beauty. A thoughtful poem, Anita. Thank you.

    I love the line “I sleep in the arms of beauty.”

    A strong piece that definitely evokes the torment of longing.
