The Search
The Search




Amidst the maze
Below the sky
In the clutches of her question
Lay a girl, all lost
Her eyes were in tears
And heart in pain
She was fragile
Her feet lost pace
The answers she was searching
Were nowhere to be found
No trace of them
Made her whine
With all that she had
She’d commenced with the search
The search that might have
Had altered her world
Her peace, her soul
Her heart, her mind
Were all entwined
The roots of the questions
Had a firm grip on her
To slacken the grip
The answers were must
She walked and walked
Interrogated every shrub
Alas! It yielded no result
Not a single bug was ready to answer
It seemed they all had something
Pending against her
The rivers, the vales
The trees, the maze
All were quite like the winter sky
Her sobs and heartbeats
Were the only sounds that prevailed
When she was ‘bout to bid goodbye
She saw a light shining so bright
With all her might
She started again
And reached the spot
Where the light once shone
There stood a tree
Tall and firm
Engraved upon its bark
Was just a single word
She wiped her tears
And spelled the word
PATIENCE
Inspiration came
She thought to herself
“Be strong and bold
And wait with a smile
For no question in the world
Goes ignored”
Enlightened and stronger than before
She left with a smile
The search has indeed
Changed her world
