I have been searching for a long time,
something I am missing in my life,
I hear you whispering your songs in the blowing autumn leaves,
I see you playing hide and seek with me in the fluffy wandering clouds.
Sometimes I see momentary brightness in my dreams,
I see your figure moving like a ray of hope in the bright sunny days,
I envision your smile filling my heart with warmth in the light soaking rains,
I feel your presence giving me a will to live in the dark and dreary nights.
I searched for you all over the town,
I thought I would find you in the miracles of cyberspace,
I wandered looking for you in temples and chuches,
I thought I might even find you amongst our friends and relatives.
May be you are always very close to me,
In searching every corner, I forget to look inside me,
when I seek earnestly, I discover,
you are waiting for me in my heart, as always, forever.
